Only Sixteen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He was only sixteen
Only sixteen
I loved him so
But he was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
We'd laughed at sixteen
And do little things
That makes my heart glow
But he was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
Now, why did I give my heart so fast
It will never happen again
But I was a mere girl of sixteen
I've aged a year since then
He was only sixteen
Only sixteen
With eyes that would glow
But he was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
Why did he give your heart so fast
It never will happen again
But you was a mere girl of sixteen
I've aged a year since then
He was only sixteen
Only sixteen
I loved him so
But he was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
He was only sixteen
Only sixteen
I loved him so
But he was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
Only sixteen
Only sixteen
I loved him so...
