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