It Was Always a Sweet, Sweet Sixteen

Quiet night
In the city
Distant lights
Reveal my pity
Far off shores
They are crashing
Down where I
Would like to be

Do you know what it means to be alone
From the human you've always thought was home
There was never a day for you and me
But it was always a sweet, sweet sixteen
Do you know what it means to hold the phone
Thinking somewhere there's someone you'll call home
There was never a love that's meant to be
But it was always a sweet, sweet sixteen

Quiet night
In the city
Distant love
Oh, God!
My sweetie

Goes to those
In a far off land
And I am stuck in "neverland"
Evermore until I die
I find it such a chore to cry
Knowing that she'll lay there sweetly
While I am full of my self pity
Dear Lord, why'd she have to go?
Would it really help to know?

Do you know what it means to be alone
From the human you've always thought was home
There was never a day for you and me
But it was always a sweet, sweet sixteen
Do you know what it means to hold the phone
Thinking somewhere there's someone you'll call home
There was never a love that's meant to be
But it was always a sweet, sweet sixteen

Thought I knew
Swore it's you
You're the one
Out of everyone
Thought we'd see
The world together
Standing right here
By your side

Thought I knew
Swore it's you
You're the one
Out of everyone
Thought we'd see
The world together
Standing right here
By your side

Do you know what it means to be alone
From the human you've always thought was home
There was never a day for you and me
But it was always a sweet, sweet sixteen
Do you know what it means to hold the phone
Thinking somewhere there's someone you'll call home
There was never a love that's meant to be
But it was always a sweet, sweet sixteen!

Yeah!!
It was always a sweet, sweet sixteen!

Do you know what it means to be alone
From the human you've always thought was home
There was never a day for you and me
But it was always a sweet, sweet sixteen
Do you know what it means to hold the phone
Thinking somewhere there's someone you'll call home
There was never a love that's meant to be
But it was always a sweet, sweet sixteen
