She was only sixteen, only sixteen
and I loved her so
but she was too young to fall in love
and I was too young to know

We'd laugh and we'd sing, and do the little things
that made my heart glow
but she was too young to fall in love
and I was too young to know

Why did I give my heart so fast?
It never will happen again
but I was a mere lad of sixteen
I've aged a year since then

She was only sixteen, only sixteen
with eyes that would glow
but she was too young to fall in love
and I was too young to know

(But why did I give my heart so fast?)
Boy, it never will happen again
(but you were a mere lad of sixteen)
I've aged a year since then

She was only sixteen, only sixteen
with eyes that would glow
but she was too young to fall in love
and I was too young to know
