Prelude And The Sound Of Music lyrics

MARIA: 

 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, 

 There 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 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 on its way 

 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 heard before. 

 My heart will be blessed 

 With the sound of music 

 And I'll sing once more
