Shirley Temple Song Lyrics When You Were Sweet Sixteen (Little Miss Broadway 1938) Lyrics/Music Thornton Picture: Original Sheet Music cover

I loved you as I've never loved before
Since first I met you on the village green (the village green)
Come to me ere my dream of love is o'er
I loved you as I..(aww that's terrible *complaints*...)

[Dialogue Part]
(Man)
Just a moment now, I was standing right here, someone was a
little bit sour...

(Shirley)
It was you!

(Man)
What? Well, what do you know about music? (mock laughter)
Well of all the impertinence...

(Shirley)
You were off-key, that part goes like this
'I loved you as I loved you, when you were sweet...'

(Man)
That's just the way I did it..

[Oh no...disagreement from the other guys]

(Man)
I did!

(Shirley)
Let's try it again

(Man)
All right you take it

(Shirley)
I loved you as I loved you, when you were...

(Together)
Sweet...when you were sweet...sixteen

(Laughter)
