The Sound of Music - 1959

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 14 Nov 2001

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 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've heard before.
My heart will be blessed
with the sound of music
and I'll sing once more.

The hills are alive

My heart will be blessed

and I'll sing once more.
