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 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
