      G     Bm7    Em                 C  Cmaj7  Am 
When first I saw the lovelight in your eyes
     D                                         G  D
I thought the world held nought but joy for me
     G     Bm7     Em              C  Cmaj7  Am 
And even though we drifted far apart     
    A                              D  C  Bm  D
I never dream, but what I dream of you

   G            Bm7    Em      C  Cmaj7  Am 
I love you as I never loved before
       D                            G    D
Since first I saw you on the village green
     G         Bm7     Em              C  Cmaj7  Am 
Come to me e'er my dreams of love is o're
   C           G     Bm7  Em               Bm
I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet
            Am  D7      G   
When you were sweet.... sixteen

Last night I dreamt I held you in my arms
     D                                G     D
And once again you were my happy bride
     G    Bm7     Em               C  Cmaj7  Am 
I kissed you as I did on ‘Auld Lang Syne’,
    A                                    D  C  Bm  D
As to the church we wandered side by side
