As you wander thru' life
With its cares unforeseen
There is nothing but sunshine
When you're only sixteen
For love knocks at your door
Just to tell you it seems
That your life has been fashioned
From the fabric of dreams

Sweet sixteen, sweet sixteen
Every boy's a king
And every girl's a queen
Love's first kiss brings such bliss
That it lives within the mem'ry ever green
Each ideal seems so real
And the future for the moment is unseen
Time will fly, bye and bye
You will dream of days
When you were sweet sixteen

Sweet sixteen, sweet sixteen
Every boy's a king
And every girl's a queen
Love's first kiss brings such bliss
That it lives within the mem'ry ever green
Each ideal seems so real
And the future for the moment is unseen
Time will fly, bye and bye
You will dream of days
When you were sweet sixteen

There is many a tear
And a lot of good cheer
All mixed up in the daytimes
Of most every year
As each birthday was meet
Until life is complete
We will think of the playtimes
Of the age they call sweet

Sweet sixteen, sweet sixteen
Every boy's a king
And every girl's a queen
Love's first kiss brings such bliss
That it lives within the mem'ry ever green
Each ideal seems so real
And the future for the moment is unseen
Time will fly, bye and bye
You will dream of days
When you were sweet sixteen

Sweet sixteen, sweet sixteen
Every boy's a king
And every girl's a queen
Love's first kiss brings such bliss
That it lives within the mem'ry ever green
Each ideal seems so real
And the future for the moment is unseen
Time will fly, bye and bye
You will dream of days
When you were sweet sixteen
