The obvious choice that leaps to mind is "Sixteen going on Seventeen" from
Rodgers & Hammerstein's musical SOUND OF MUSIC.

Some other possiblities:

One Hand, One Heart - from Bernstein's WEST SIDE STORY

Make Believe - from Jerome Kern's SHOW BOAT

Soon its Gonna Rain & They Were You - From Schmidt & Jones' THE
FANTASTICKS

Stranger in Paradise - from Wright & Forrest's KISMET

We Kiss in a Shadow - from Rodgers & Hammerstein's THE KING AND I

People Will Say We're in Love - from Rodgers & Hammerstein's OKLAHOMA!

It Only Takes a Moment - from Jerry Herman's HELLO DOLLY

Wunderbar - from Cole Porter's KISS ME KATE
