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

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 ev'ry 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 a chime that flies

From a church on a breeze

To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls

Over stones in it's way

To sing through the night

Like a lark who is learning to prey

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
