Verse
G# D# Fm G#
I pondered on those days gone by
G# C# D#
as I sat beside the mill
G# Fm G# C#
and gazed upon the setting sun
G# D# G#
as it sank beneath the hill
G# D# Fm G#
I gazed on it once more me boys,
G# C# D#
'twas the very sight I’ve seen
G# Fm G# C#
well it's just the same now as it was
G# D# G#
when we were sweet sixteen
[Chorus]
G# D# Fm G#
Oh how I long for those bright days
G# C# D#
to come again once more
G# Fm G# C#
But come again they never will for
G# D# G#
now I’m sixty-four
[Verse]
G# D# Fm G#
I went a little further on
G# C# D#
as up the hill I walked,
G# Fm G# C#
I sat down on that very spot
G# D# G#
where we of'times sat and talked
G# D# Fm G#
we talked about those happy days
G# C# D#
so blissful and serene
G# Fm G# C#
we talked about those happy days
G# D# G#
when we were sweet sixteen
[Chorus]
G# D# Fm G#
Oh how I long for those bright days
G# C# D#
to come again once more
G# Fm G# C#
But come again they never will for
G# D# G#
now I’m sixty-four
[Verse]
G# D# Fm G#
Well the past is past and she's gone
G# C# D#
on earth we'll meet no more
G# Fm G# C#
ah, but we will meet in heaven above
G# D# G#
on that eternal shore
G# D# Fm G#
and when we meet we’ll part no more
G# C# D#
we both will reign supreme
G# Fm G# C#
no more to sing of days gone by
G# D# G#
when we were sweet sixteen
[Chorus]
G# D# Fm G#
Oh how I long for those bright days
G# C# D#
to come again once more
G# Fm G# C#
But come again they never will for
G# D# G#
now I’m sixty-four
