LYRICS :
When first I saw the lovelight in your eye,
I thought the world held naught but joy for me.
And even though we've drifted far apart,
I never dreamed but what I dream of thee
I love you as I've never loved before!
Since first I saw you on the village green.
Come to me, 'er my dreams of love are o'er!
I love you as I loved you,
When you were sweet,
When you were sweet sixteen.
I love you as I've never loved before!
Since first I saw you on the village green.
Come to me, 'er my dreams of love are o'er!
I love you as I loved you,
When you were sweet,
When you were sweet sixteen.
my old man used to sing this when he was drunk, only time we saw him happy, the war turned a happy young man into a broken wreck...like so many others...god bless em all......miss you dad still my hero.
God love him ❤️💪❤️❤️❤️💞💞💞💞
God bless him. Just remember the good ol times
god bless him and rest in peace to your old man. ♥

When this song came out in 1981 my mother said this was an old song and that my grandad used to sing it to my granny. My mother was right.
A young Irish lady died yesterday. Ashling Murphy was her name. Gone before her time.. So sad for everyone in Ireland right now. The whole nation is thinking about you Together we stand... Rip.. this was her favourite song..
Xx
I can't add much to the wonderful stories below, but for my part I'll simply revel in the glorious timelessness of this beautiful song - if you don't shed a tear, you can't have a heart.
This song is timeless.
love this song.my dad used to play the fureys and this resonates as I first got with my now wife when she was sweet.to quote another all the words I could say.but were still together 32 years later.

this im afraid is why....what a tune..
A song that says the words you cant say but can put your arms around them and mean it ..i miss my beautifal brother and mum and dad rip untill we meet again xxx
❤😢🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪🙏
I was only 16 and he was 19 when I seriously began courting Patrick and now we have been married for 40 years and counting. We actually met when I was 14 and he 17 one summer, broke up and got back together two years later. We both knew we were made for one another and we were right - this song encapsulates those lovely early years. It is my favourite song and this video brings those old days flooding back. Thankyou to Furey Brothers and Davey Arthur for giving this song to the world

Thinking of my mum and dad when I hear this song
Without doubt,the greatest love song of all time,end of.
Xxxx
Songs come and go and some stay forever.
This is relaxing and comforting music. Now at 65 and a 1/2 divorced , 16 yr old daughter living with me, sadly not her scene. Hopefully she will be able to come back to it and have memories .
Hope it works out, all the best.
Daughter just became mother and lives with fiance . Self still listening and remembering thanks
Jesus, not heard this for 30 years. Thanks so much.Love it.
unbelievably good. a wonderful old song sung by many. perry como, al jolson, joseph locke, to name but a small few. well done the fureys and davy for helping keep it alive.
She was 15, I thought she was 18, I was 24. We've never been apart & just had our 61st we
wedding anniversary I weep a little as i hear this beautiful song. I feel so sorry for those who are unable to stay together.
Bless you both...It is heart lifting to hear that there is still room in this "instant throw it away world" for love and commitment may you live for many more years with the comfort of each other.
That is beautiful, Cecil. I am very happy you met your love. This song reminds me of my mother. She married my dad and they have opposite personalities, but they respect and love each other. I'm Irish, in Ireland! Congratulations, on your wedding anniversary boy! Wishing you lot's of love. Can you say a prayer Cecil, that I will meet my true love? God bless to you and your wife. xx
BEAUTIFUL
A most romantic story
Same here I was 15 he 19.
He knew how old I was because I spent a lot of time at his mother's babysitting etc.
He told me he would marry me one day even before we started dating. He proposed after I finished school four weeks after my 16 th birthday we married. That was 52 years ago on list at valentine's day,
He's all I've ever needed or wanted. Folk say marrying young dooms your life. Well we both finished the education, both attended uni both did double degrees. I later returned to do a second set of doubles. Both had excellent careers in our differing fields. Both reached highest levels possible. I actually lectured internationally. We raised three children first born 5 years after we married much to the dismay of the finger counters. We're retired now and totally enjoying the fact that we are once again living alone. You know what I'd do it all again tomorrow even knowing what lay ahead.
Reminds me of the springtime of life, all hopes and dreams awaiting to be realised, like the buds on plants awaiting to flower. And for balance: For many a flower is born to blush unseen and waste it's sweetness on the desert air.
Poetry Michael, Poetry
What a beautiful it still lingers in my heart when I first heard it over 40 years ago when my young brother to help my baby son to sleep he was 6 months old at the time

Well done guys, such a lovely piece of music history and still adored by so many.
It's been 53+ years since my late Beloved and I started going steady, in the jargon of the time. I miss her every day. This song, like Ringsend Rose, always makes me think of her. Thank you.
