Onóir-Sweet Sixteen Music Video

Here is our version of 'Sweet Sixteen', originally written many moons ago in 1898 by James Thornton.
This song is incredibly nostalgic for a lot of Irish households ever since the great Finbar Furey adapted it in 1981 and created what is now regarded as one of the truly classic Irish ballads of our time.

Onóir recorded this music video in the famous Forge Bar in Donegal Town and we would like to extend our most sincere thanks to The Sweeney Family for letting us take over their legendary pub for the evening 💚.

We hope you enjoy what is now our 5th music video as a band.

Onóir ❤️

Lyrics:

When first I saw the love-light in your eyes
I dreamed the world held not but joy for me
And even though we drifted far apart
I never dream but what I dream of thee

I love you as I never loved before
Since first I met you on the village green
Come to me or my dream of love is or
I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen

I love you as I never loved before
Since first I met you on the village green
Come to me or my dream of love is or . .
I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen

I love you as I never loved before
Since first I met you on the village green
Come to me or my dream of love is or . .
I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen
