"Sixteen Going On Seventeen [Reprise Version]" Lyrics

Maria

When you're sixteen going on seventeen
Waiting for life to start
Somebody kind who touches your mind
Will suddenly touch your heart

Liesl

When that happens, after it happens
Nothing is quite the same
Somehow I know I'll get up and go
If ever he calls my name

Maria

Gone are your old ideas of life
The old ideas grow dim
Lo and behold you're someones wife
And you belong to him

You may think this kind of adventure
Never may come to you
Darling sixteen going on seventeen
Wait a year or two.

Liesl

I'll wail a year or two

Together

Just/I'll wait a year or two
