The Sound Of Music
from The Sound of Music

My Day in the hills
has come to an end, I know.
A star has come out
to tell me it's time to go.
But deep in the dark green shadows
are voices that urge me to stay,
So I pause and I wait and I listen
for one more sound,
For one more lovely thing
that the hills.. might.. say.

REFRAIN:

The hills are alive
with the sound of music,
With songs they have sung
for a thousand years.
The hills fill my heart
with the sound of music.
My heart wants to sing every song
it hears.

My heart wants to beat 
like the wings of the birds that rise
from the lake to the trees.

My heart wants to sigh
like the chime that flies
from a church on a breeze.

To laugh like a brook
when it trips and falls
over stones on its way,

To sing through the night
like a lark who is learning to pray.

I go to the hills
when my heart is lonely.
I know I will hear
what I've heard before.
My heart will be blessed
with the sound of music

And I'll sing
once more.
