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
 
 (Then why did you give your heart so fast) But it never will happen again
 (But you were a mere lad of sixteen)
 Oh, 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
 She was too young to fall in love
 And I was too young to know
