Sam Cooke

Only sixteen (Audio)

She was only sixteen, only sixteen
I loved her so

(Chorus:)
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 thing
that made my heart glow.

Chorus

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.

Chorus (fine)

(But why did you give your heart so fast?)
Boy, it never will happen again
(But you were a mere lad of sixteen)
I've aged a year since then.

dal $egno al fine

(Coda:)

She was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know.
