Lyrics The Stanley Brothers

The Stanley Brothers

Sixteen Years

When we were young we played together

That's the way our love began

Now you're gone dear with another

Now you're no more than just a friend

Sixteen years we were married

I remember the day that we were wed

Sixteen years is a mighty long time

Now you're gone I'm losin my mind

Now the days are long and the nights are lonesome

It seems like years have past and gone

I didn't know you were unhappy

I didn't know anything was wrong
