一瞬間妳你已長大成人 / Turn Around and You're Going Out of My Door

Xiao Zhu's Dec 28, 2008 blog article 【尋˙迷】 reminds me of a song I heard a while back. It's abt the passage of time through the eyes of a mother.

Turn Around - by Harry Belafonte, Malvina Reynolds and Alan Greene
(text in brackets are from me)

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 (boy) going out of my door.
Turn around, turn around,
Turn around and you're a young girl (boy) going out of my door.

Where are you going, my little one, little one,
Little dirndls (mittens) and petticoats (snowpants), where have you gone?
Turn around and you're tiny,
Turn around and you're grown,
Turn around and you're a young wife (man) with babes of your own.
Turn around, turn around,
Turn around and you're a young wife (man) with babes of your own.
