When We Were Sixteen
I had a dream last night
A vision of seagulls in flight
And Otis singing
"Sittin' on the dock of the bay"
The sun was bright
Your red hair catching
The summer light
It was like
The years had melted away
Life was good
Hand in hand we strolled
The neighborhood
We felt anointed
Like a king and a queen
And we swore we would
Reign forever
But misunderstood
That forever meant
Something else
When we were sixteen
Oh my blue eyed miss
I remember your tender kiss
The scent of your hair
Lingers with me even now
Seventeen
Put an end to the
King and queen
The love that was there
Slipped through our fingers Somehow
Oh if I could
Turn back the clock
I'm not sure that I would
Otis is gone
And there's been too many Songs in between
Now here we stand
We lived our lives
Just not the lives we planned
But, I sure did love you
When we were sixteen
A vision of seagulls in flight
And Otis singing
"Sittin' on the dock of the bay"
The sun was bright
Your red hair catching
The summer light
It was like
The years had melted away
Life was good
Hand in hand we strolled
The neighborhood
We felt anointed
Like a king and a queen
And we swore we would
Reign forever
But misunderstood
That forever meant
Something else
When we were sixteen
Oh my blue eyed miss
I remember your tender kiss
The scent of your hair
Lingers with me even now
Seventeen
Put an end to the
King and queen
The love that was there
Slipped through our fingers Somehow
Oh if I could
Turn back the clock
I'm not sure that I would
Otis is gone
And there's been too many Songs in between
Now here we stand
We lived our lives
Just not the lives we planned
But, I sure did love you
When we were sixteen
