The Sound Of Music
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
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 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 once more
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 once more
I Have Dreamed
I have dreamed that your arms are lovely
I have dreamed what a joy you'll be
I have dreamed every word you'll whisper
When you're close
Close to me
How you look in the glow of evening
I have dreamed and enjoyed the view
In these dreams I've loved you so
That by now I think I know
What it's like to be loved by you
I will love being loved by you
Alone and awake I've looked at the stars
The same that smile on you
And time and again I've thought all the things
That you were thinking too
I have dreamed that your arms are lovely
I have dreamed and enjoyed the view
In these dreams I've loved you so
That by now I think I know
What it's like to be loved by you
I will love being loved by you
I will love being loved by you
I Wish I Were In Love Again
The sleepless nights
The daily fights
The quick toboggan when you reach the heights
I miss the kisses and I miss the bites
I wish I were in love again!
The broken dates
The endless waits
The lovely loving and the hateful hates,
The conversations with the flying plates
I wish I were in love again!
No more pain
No more strain
Now I'm sane but
I would rather be gaga!
The pulled-out fur of cat and cur
The fine mismating of a him and her
I've learned my lesson
But I wish I were in love again!
You don't know that I felt good
When we up and parted
You don't know I knocked on wood
Gladly broken-hearted
Worrying is through
I sleep all night
Appetite and health restored
You don't know how much I'm bored!
The furtive sight
The blackened eye
The words "I'll love you till the day I day"
The self-deception the believes the lie
I wish I were in love again!
When love congeals
It soon reveals
The faint aroma of performing seals
The double-crossing of a pair of heels
I wish I were in love again!
No more care
No despair
I'm all there
But I'd rather be punch-drunk!
Believe me sir
I much prefer
The classic battle of a him and her
I don't like quiet and
I wish I were in love again!
I wish I were in love again!
Where Or When
It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happen for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before
And loved before
But who knows where or when
When you're awake the things you think
Come from the dreams you dream
Thought has wings, and lots of things
Are seldom what they seem
Sometimes you think you've lived before
All that you live today
Things you do come back to you
As though they knew the way
Oh, the tricks your mind can play
Some things that happen for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before
And loved before
But who knows where or when
A Waltz Carousel
Do I hear a waltz?
Very odd, but I hear a voice.
Such love Blue Danubey music,
How can you be still?
I can't hear a waltz,
Oh, my Lord, there it goes again!
Why is nobody dancing in the street?
Can't they hear the beat?
Magical, mystical, miracle,
Yes, it's true!
Don't you see?
Things are imposibly lyrical.
Can't be you!
Must be me!
I do hear a waltz
I see you and I hear a waltz!
It's what I've been waiting for all my life
To hear a waltz!
(It's a Grand Night for Singing)
It's a grand night for singing,
The moon is flying high,
And somewhere a bird
Who is bound to be heard,
Is throwing his heart at the sky!
It's a grand night for singing,
The stars are bright above.
The earth is a-glow
And, to add to the show,
I think I am falling in love!
Falling, falling in love!
The earth is a-glow
And, to add to the show,
I think I am falling in love!
Falling, falling in love!
(A Wonderful Guy)
I'm as corny as Kansas in August,
I'm as normal as blueberry pie.
No more a smart little girl with no heart,
I have found me a wonderful guy!
I am in a conventional dither,
With a conventional star in my eye.
And you will note there's a lump in my throat
When I speak of that wonderful guy!
I'm as trite and as gay as a daisy in May,
A cliche coming true!
I'm bromidic and bright as a moon happy night
Pouring light on the dew!
I'm as corny as Kansas in August,
High as a flag on the Fourth of July!
If you'll excuse an expression I use,
I'm in love, I'm in love,
I'm in love, I'm in love,
I'm in love with a wonderful guy!
I expect everyone of my crowd to make fun
Of my proud protestations of faith in romance,
And they'll say I'm naive as a babe to believe
Any fable I hear from a person in pants.
Fearlessly I'll face them and argue their doubts away.
Loudly I'll sing about flowers in spring.
Flatly I'll stand on my flat little feet and say,
Love is a grand and beautiful thing!
I'm not ashamed to reveal
This world-famous feeling I feel.
I'm as corny as Kansas in August,
High as a flag on the Fourth of July!
If you'll excuse an expression I use,
I'm in love, I'm in love,
I'm in love, I'm in love,
I'm in love, I'm in love,
I'm in love, I'm in love,
I'm in love with a wonderful guy!
(Out of My Dreams)
Out of my dreams and into your arms I long to fly
I will come as evening comes to woo a waiting sky.
Out of my dreams and into the hush of falling shadows,
When the mist is low and stars are breaking through
Then out of my dreams I'll go
Into a dream with you.
Then out of my dreams I'll go,
Into a dream with you.
(Oh What a Beautiful Morning)
There's a bright golden haze on the meadow
There's a bright golden haze on the meadow
The corn is as high as an elephant's eye,
An' it looks like it's climbin' clear up to the sky.
Oh, what a beautiful morning,
Oh, what a beautiful day.
I've got a beautiful feeling
Ev'rything's going my way.
All the sounds of the earth are like music
All the sounds of the earth are like music
The breeze is so busy it don't miss a tree,
And a ol' weepin' willer is laughing at me!
Oh, what a beautiful morning,
Oh, what a beautiful day.
I've got a beautiful feeling
Ev'rything's going my way.
Oh, what a beautiful day!
(This Nearly was Mine)
One dream in my heart,
One love to be living for,
One love to be living for
This nearly was mine.
One man for my dream,
One partner in paradise,
This promise of paradise
This nearly was mine.
Close to my heart he came
Only to fly away,
Only to fly as day flies from moonlight.
Now, now I'm alone,
Still dreaming of paradise,
Still saying that paradise,
Paradise, paradise
Now, now I'm alone,
Still dreaming of paradise,
Still saying that paradise,
Once nearly was mine.
