G# C# D#
She was only sixteen, only sixteen.
D# G#
I loved her so.

But she was too young to fall in love,
D# G#
And I was too young to know.

G# C# D#
We'd laugh and we'd sing and do little things,
D# G#
that made my heart glow.
G# C# D#
But she was too young to fall in love,
D# G#
And I was too young to know.
CHORUS:
C# D#7 G#
Why did I give my heart so fast?
C# D#7 G#
It never will happen again.
G# C# G#
But I was a mere lad of sixteen,
A# D#
I've aged a year since then.

G# C# D#
She was only sixteen, only sixteen,
D# G#
with eyes that would glow.
G# C# D#
But she was too young to fall in love,
D# G#
And I was too young to know.
