[CHILDREN]
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 (Every song it hears)

My heart wants to beat 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 like a chime that flies
From a church on a breeze

[CAPTAIN VON TRAPP]
I go to the hills

[CHILDREN]
Ah

[CAPTAIN VON TRAPP]
When my heart is lonely

[CHILDREN]
Ah

[CAPTAIN VON TRAPP]
I know I will hear what I've heard before
[CHILDREN]
Ah

[CAPTAIN VON TRAPP]
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
And I'll sing

[CAPTAIN VON TRAPP & CHILDREN]
Once more

[CAPTAIN VON TRAPP]
To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls
Over stones in its way

[CAPTAIN VON TRAPP & MARIA]
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
