She is sixteen going on seventeen

[Rolf:]You wait, little girl, on an empty stage
For fate to turn the light on
Your life, little girl, is an empty page
That men will want to write on
[Liesl:]To write on
[Rolf:]You are sixteen going on seventeen
Baby, it's time to think
Better beware, be canny and careful
Baby, you're on the brink
You are sixteen going on seventeen
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads and rogues and cads
Will offer you food and wine
Totally unprepared are you
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your ken
You need someone older an wiser
Telling you what to do
I am seventeen going on eighteen
I'll take care of you
[Liesl:]I am sixteen going on seventeen
I know that I'm naive
Fellows I meet may tell me
I'm sweet
And willingly I believe
I am sixteen going on seventeen
Innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
What do I know of those
Totally unprepared am I
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared am I
Of things beyond my ken
I need someone older and wiser
Telling me what to do
You are seventeen going on eighteen
I'll depend on you
The Liesl parts I'll just let you bold yourself ;)

Dear girl, you are finally sixteen and I am not there to sing it to you !
Happy birthday anyways Liesl Von Tan :)
Its just another year and just anpther day but I know it will be a good one indeed .
You are in for so much in your life and I hope you know how privilledged and special you are and I hope you will always know that... *cue music*
That, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
I'll be there for you, like I've been there before.
I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.
I can't wait to go back home again :)
lovessssss...
