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 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
