Only Sixteen:Sam Cooke. #23 in 1959. #1. G# C# D# She was only sixteen, only sixteen. D# G# I loved her so. G# C# D# But she was too young to fall in love, D# G# And I was too young to know. #2. G# C# D# We'd laugh and we'd sing and do little things, D# G# that made my heart glow. G# C# D# But she was too young to fall in love, D# G# And I was too young to know. CHORUS: C# D#7 G# Why did I give my heart so fast? C# D#7 G# It never will happen again. G# C# G# But I was a mere lad of sixteen, A# D# I've aged a year since then. #3. G# C# D# She was only sixteen, only sixteen, D# G# with eyes that would glow. G# C# D# But she was too young to fall in love, D# G# And I was too young to know. CHORUS: C# D#7 G# Why did I give my heart so fast? C# D#7 G# It never will happen again. G# C# G# But I was a mere lad of sixteen, A# D# I've aged a year since then. #4. G# C# D# She was only sixteen, only sixteen, D# G# with eyes that would glow. G# C# D# But she was too young to fall in love, D# G# And I was too young to know.
