     G       G/F#    Em                C  C/B  Am
When first I saw the lovelight in your eyes
  D                      D7                 G   D
I thought the world held nought but joy for me
    G    G/F#      Em           C  C/B  Am
And even though we drifted far apart
  A                                D  D/C D/B D/A
I never dream, but what I dream of you


  G    G/F#     Em            C  C/B  Am
I love you as I never loved before
      D               D7             G    D
Since first I saw you on the village green
     G     G/F#    Em               C  C/B  Am
Come to me e'er my dream of love is o're
  C             G     G/F#  Em
I love you as I loved you,
              Bm
When you were sweet
              Am    D7    G
When you were sweet    sixteen
