Subject: Lyr Add: TURN AROUND (Malvina Reynolds)
Where are you going, my little one, little one
Where are you going, my baby, my own
Turn around and you're two, turn around and you're four
Turn around and you're a young girl going out of the door
Turn around, turn around,
Turn around and you're a young girl going out of the door

Where are you going, my little one, little one
Pony-tails and petticoats, where have you gone
Turn around and you're tiny, turn around and you're grown
Turn around and you're a young wife with babes of your own
Turn around, turn around,
Turn around and you're a young wife with babes of your own

That's my recollection of the song. Didn't I learn it from a Kodak commercial when I was a kid? No idea who wrote it. It's similar in theme to "Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof, also popular at weddings.

Cheers
