The Soul Stirrers Lyrics
"Sixteen"

she was 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 will never happen agian
but i was a mere lad of sixteen
ive 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)
oh, it will never happen again
(but you was a mere lad of sixteen)
ive 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

but she was too young to fall in love
and i was too young to know

but she was too young to fall in love
and i was too young to know
