Rodgers And Hammerstein - Prelude And The Sound Of Music lyrics

rate me

MARIA:<br />

My day in the hills<br />

Has come to an end, I know.<br />

A star has come out<br />

To tell me it's time to go.<br />

But deep in the dark green shadows,<br />

There are voices that urge me to stay.<br />

So I pause and I wait and I listen,<br />

For one more sound,<br />

For one more lovely thing<br />

That the hills might say!<br />

The hills are alive<br />

With the sound of music,<br />

With songs they have sung,<br />

For a thousand years.<br />

The hills fill my heart,<br />

With the sound of music.<br />

My heart wants to sing every song it hears.<br />

My heart wants to beat like the wings<br />

Of the birds that rise from the lake<br />

To the trees.<br />

My heart wants to sigh<br />

Like a chime that flies<br />

From a church on a breeze,<br />

To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls<br />

Over stones on it's way<br />

To sing through the night,<br />

Like a lark who is learning to pray.<br />

I go to the hills<br />

When my heart is lonely.<br />

I know I will hear<br />

What I heard before.<br />

My heart will be blessed<br />

With the sound of music<br />

And I'll sing once more
