             G     Gmaj9    Em                C  E  Am
      When first I saw the lovelight in your eyes
           D                                      G  D
      I thought the world held nought but joy for me
           G    Gmaj9      Em          C  E  Am
      And even though we drifted far apart       *strum*
          A                               D  C  E   D
      I never dream, but what I dream of you

         G    Gmaj9    Em            C  E  Am
      I love you as I never loved before
              D                             G    D
      Since first I saw you on the village green
           G    Gmaj9      Em               C  E  Am
      Come to me e’er my dreams of love is o’re
         C             G     Gmaj9  Em                  D
      I love you as I loved you,        when you were sweet
                    Am  D7       G
      When you were sweet.... sixteen
