Sixteen Going on Seventeen (Reprise) [Alternate Version] Lyrics by Julie Andrews, Charmian Carr, Irwin Kostal

The Sound Of Music (Original Soundtrack Recording) [Super Deluxe Edition]

2023

[MARIA]
A bell is no bell 'til you ring it
A song is no song ’til you sing it
And love in your heart wasn't put there to stay
Love isn't love ’til you give it away
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 jump 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 someone's wife
And you belong to him
You may think this kind of advеnture
Never may comе to you
Darling, sixteen going on seventeen
Wait a year or two
[LIESL]
I'll wait a year
[MARIA]
Just
[MARIA & LIESL]
Wait a year or two
