"Sixteen" Lyrics

She was sixteen when she met him
He was twenty one
He was the star of a local band
He didn't plan for her to come dancing
Into his dreams on that August night
Paint her eyelashes and send him a smile
She was just having fun
And he was just twenty one

He showed her what he knew of love
He knew a lot but not enough
A tiny little thing that he forgot
A tiny little thing that meant a lot
'Cause when you're sixteen and you're in love
You're in a movie
You're in a movie
You're in a movie

Weekends flew by so discretely
They met every Friday night
Stealing glances through the crowd
Until one fine night when he asked her out
Into the dawning light
He showed her a playhouse in which they could hide
It had a bench and sand on the floor
He kissed her where no man had ever been before

And she didn't notice that there was just one thing missing
'Cause she was sixteen and so in love with him

He showed her what he knew of love
He knew a lot but not enough
A tiny little thing that he forgot
A tiny little thing that meant a lot
'Cause when you're sixteen and you're in love
You're in a movie
[x2]

You're in a movie
You're in a movie
