(Maureen McGovern/Ron Barron)
I once was a little girl with long, yellow hair,
Which my mother would comb, tightly braid it with care
She'd divide it in two, then two into three,
And soon I'd become such a neat little me
Twisting and turning, weaving in and out (weaving in and out)
Tying lives together is what love's all about
You tell me you love my soft, yellow hair
And together, we lie without worry or care
Your hands feel so strong, tying love knots of gold
They tell of a love that will never grow old
Twisting and turning, weaving in and out (weaving in and out)
Tying lives together is what love's all about
We would divide it in two, and now we are one
The love that we share will outlive the sun
And tangle together it constantly free
Someday, our one will divide into three
We'll have a little girl with long, yellow hair
I'll comb it and brush it, tightly braid it with care
And divide it in two, then two into three
And she'll be so soft, just as sweet as can be
Twisting and turning, weaving in and out
Tying lives together is what love's all about
Twisting and turning, weaving in and out (weaving in and out)
Tying lives together (weaving in and out, weaving in and out)
Tying lives together (weaving in and out, weaving in and out)
(repeat and fade out)
