Reprise: Sixteen Going On Seventeen Lyrics - The Sound Of Music - Carrie Underwood

A bell is no bell till you ring it 

A song is no song till you sing it 

And love in your heart wasn't put there to stay 

Love isn't love till 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 

When that happens after it happens 

Nothing is quite the same 

Somehow you know you'll jump up and go 

If ever he calls your name

Lil Nas X - 'Old Town Road' ft. Billy Ray Cyrus - LYRICS 

Gone our your old ideas of life 

The old ideas grow dim 

Low and behold your someone's 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) 

I'll wait a year 

Just wait a year or two
