And here's yet another version
from the Columbia picture
"The Jolson Story"
WHEN YOU WERE SWEET SIXTEEN
Writer: James Thornton
copyright MCMXLIV
When first I saw the lovelight in your eyes
I dreamt the world held naught but joy for me
And even tho we drifted far apart
I never dream but what I dream of thee
CHORUS
I love you as I never loved before
Since first I met you on the village green
Come to me or my dream of love is o'er
I love you as I loved you when you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen.
Last night I dreamt I held your hand in mine
And once again you were my happy bride
I kissed you as I did in auld lang syne
As to the church we wandered side by side
CHORUS
