| Lyrics: | Van Morrison
Well, well, I loved you
Like I never loved before
First time I saw
you
Standing home at your front door
Do you remember
You created quite a
scene
When you were walking
Down by the village green
Chorus
When you
were only
When you were only
When you were only
When you were only
Sweet
sixteen
Baby, how I loved you
Sweet sixteen
How I really loved you
Sweet
sixteen
Baby, how I loved you
Sweet sixteen
How I really loved you
Sweet sixteen
Standing on the corner
And you came walking by
And when I saw you
I said
My, my, my, my
Do you remember
How I took you by the hand?
Do you remember
In
the sunny summerland?
Chorus And your eyes shine like diamonds
And they sparkle in
the night
And the kind of love that you give me
Seems to light up all my life
Sax break - Van?
And then, and then, and then I told you
That we'd
never ever part
And then, and then, and then I'd hold you
A little closer to my
heart
Do you remember
All the stars were shining bright?
Do you remember
It was
on a magic night?
Chorus and fade
Transcribed by ear by Michael Burns,
who says [this is] the 1973 single Van wrote and produced for Jackie DeShannon. He sings on it also,
and I'm willing to wager that it's him who plays the sax on it |
