The Sound of Music Lyrics by Charmian Carr, Heather Menzies, Nicholas Hammond, Duane Chase, Angela Cartwright, Debbie Turner, Kym Karath, Bill Lee (Playback Singer)

The Sound of Music (Original Soundtrack Recording)

1965

[CHILDREN]
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 (Every song that it hears)
My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds that rise
From the lake to the trees (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 (On its way)
To sing through the night
Like a lark who is learning to pray
[CAPTAIN VON TRAPP]
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
[CAPTAIN VON TRAPP & CHILDREN]
Sing once more
