Van Morrison

Well, well, I loved you

Like I never loved before

First time I saw you

Standing home at your front door

Do you remember

You created quite a scene

When you were walking

Down by the village green



Chorus

When you were only

When you were only

When you were only

When you were only

Sweet sixteen

Baby, how I loved you

Sweet sixteen

How I really loved you

Sweet sixteen

Baby, how I loved you

Sweet sixteen

How I really loved you

Sweet sixteen



Standing on the corner

And you came walking by

And when I saw you

I said My, my, my, my

Do you remember

How I took you by the hand?

Do you remember

In the sunny summerland?



Chorus And your eyes shine like diamonds

And they sparkle in the night

And the kind of love that you give me

Seems to light up all my life



Sax break - Van?



And then, and then, and then I told you

That we'd never ever part

And then, and then, and then I'd hold you

A little closer to my heart

Do you remember

All the stars were shining bright?

Do you remember

It was on a magic night?



Chorus and fade





Transcribed by ear by Michael Burns, who says [this is] the 1973 single Van wrote and produced for Jackie DeShannon. He sings on it also, and I'm willing to wager that it's him who plays the sax on it.
