Lyrics
- Through this old family album as I fondly look
I picture a bygone scene
Turning the pages of memory’s book
Once more you’re Sweet Sixteen
Chorus
I just can’t forget that summer evening when we met
Down at the old church bazaar
I still see you there in gingham gown and golden hair
Down at the old church bazaar
I see the Jack-o-lanterns swaying
Hear the organ playing
You were softly saying, “I love you, Sweetheart!”
How I bless the day, the day you stole my heart away
Down at the old church bazaar
- Treasured mem’ries that slumber awake now and then
To bring back an Easter morn
Mem’ry awakens and I live again
That moment love was born
Sung here by Fred Feild:
