Richard Rodgers
The Sound of Music
[Verse 1: Women, Men, Both]
The hills are alive
With the sound of music
With songs they have sung
For a thousand years
The hills fill my heart (Hills fill my heart)
With the sound of music
My heart wants to sing every song it hears
[Verse 2: Women, Men, Both]
My heart wants to beat like the wings (Like the wings)
Of the birds that rise
From the lake to the trees (From the lake... to the trees)
My heart wants to sigh (Sigh)
Like a chime that flies
From a church on a breeze (Church on a breeze)
To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls (To laugh)
Over stones on its way (Over stones... on its way)
To sing through the night
Like a lark who is learning to pray
[Verse 3: Women, Men, Both]
I go to the hills (Go to the hills)
When my heart is lonely
I know I will hear (Know I will hear)
What I heard before (Heard before)
My heart will be blessed (Will be blessed)
With the sound of music (And I'll sing)
And I'll sing once more
My heart will be blessed (Will be blessed)
With the sound of music
And I'll sing once more
And I'll sing
And I'll sing once more
