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

Every song it hears

My heart wants to beat like the wings

On 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've heard before

My heart will be blessed

With the sound of music

And I'll sing one song
