Theodore Bikel
The Sound of Music
My day in the hills has come to an end, I knowA star has come out, to tell me it's time to goBut deep in the dark green shadowsAre voices that urge me to staySo I pause and I wait and I listenFor one more sound, or one more lovely thingThat the hills might sayThe hills are alive with the sound of musicWith songs they have sung for a thousand yearsThe hills fill my heart with the sound of musicMy heart wants to sing every song it hearsMy heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds that riseFrom the lake to the treesMy heart wants to sigh like the sound of a chime that fliesFrom a church on a breezeTo laugh like a brook when it trips and fallsOver stones in its wayTo sing to the nightLike a lark that is learning to prayI go to the hills when my heart is lonelyI know I will hear what I've heard beforeMy heart will be blessed with the sound of musicAnd I'll sing once more
