Richard Rodgers
The Sound of Music
[Intro]
My day in the hills has come to an end, I know
My star has come out to tell me it's time to go
But deep in the dark green shadows (Stay)
Are voices that urge me to stay (Stay, stay)
So, I pause, and I wait, and I listen
For one more sound or one more lovely thing
That the hills might say
(Listen, listen, listen, listen)

[Verse 1]
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

[Bridge]
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 a chime that flies
From the church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls
Over stones in its way
To sing through the night
Like a lark who is learning to pray
[Verse 2]
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 (I'll sing)
And I'll sing once more
