Lyrics

[00:03.03] She was only sixteen, only sixteen
[00:09.23] But I loved her so
[00:12.14] She was too young to fall in love
[00:16.28] And I was too young to know
[00:20.60] We'd laugh and we'd sing
[00:22.72] And do the little things
[00:26.10] That made my heart glow
[00:29.43] But she was too young to fall in love
[00:33.29] And I was too young to know
[00:37.86] Why did I give my heart so fast
[00:42.77] It never will happen again
[00:46.44] But I was a mere lad of sixteen
[00:50.99] I've aged a year since then
[00:54.15] She was only sixteen, only sixteen
[01:00.84] With eyes that would glow
[01:03.37] But she was too young to fall in love
[01:07.88] And I was too young to know
[01:12.26] (But why did you give your heart so fast?)
[01:16.52] Boy, it never will happen again
[01:20.72] (But you were a mere lad of sixteen)
[01:25.50] I've aged a year since then
[01:28.53] She was only sixteen, only sixteen
[01:34.66] With eyes that would glow
[01:37.84] But she was too young to fall in love
[01:42.14] And I was too young to know
[01:46.44] She was too young to fall in love
[01:50.33] And I was too young to know
[01:51.70]
