Lyrics The Sound of Music - Original Broadway Cast Recording: The Sound of Music - Mary Martin

My day in the hills has come to an end I know
A star has come out to tell me its 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

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 bird that rise
From the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh like a chime
That glides from a 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

I go to the hills
When my heart is lonley
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
