Song by Maria and Liesl<br /><br>

[Maria:]<br>

You are sixteen going on seventeen<br>

Waiting for life to start<br>

Somebody kind who touches your mind<br>

Will suddenly touch your heart<br>

<br>

[Liesl:]<br>

When that happens, after it happens<br>

Nothing is quite the same<br>

Somehow I know I'll jump up and go<br>

If ever he calls my name<br>

<br>

[Maria:]<br>

Gone are your old ideas of life<br>

The old ideas grow dim<br>

Lo and behold you're someone's wife<br>

And you belong to him<br>

<br>

You may think this kind of adventure<br>

Never may come to you<br>

Darling sixteen going on seventeen<br>

Wait a year . . . <br>

<br>

[Liesl:]<br>

I'll wait a year . . .<br>

<br>

[Maria:]<br>

Just wait a year . . .<br>

<br>

[Maria and Liesl:]<br>

Or two<br>

<br>
