Only Sixteen Lyrics

She was only sixteen
Only sixteen
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
