Only Sixteen - Sam Cooke

作词：Sam Cooke

作曲：Sam Cooke

She was only 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 never will happen again

But I was a mere lad of sixteen

I've 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 never will happen again

(But you were a mere lad of sixteen)

I've 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

She was sixteen

to fall in love

and I was too young
