Sixteen Years Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

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
