Sound Of Music Tribute (The Oscar Awards) 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 the 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 heard before My heart will be blessed With the sound of music And I’ll sing once more Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes Silver white winters that melt into spring These are a few of my favorite things When the dog bites When the bee stings When I’m feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things And then I don’t feel so bad Edelweiss Edelweiss Bless my homeland forever Climb every mountain Ford every stream Follow every rainbow ‘Till you find your dream A dream that will need all the love you can give Every day of your life For as long as you live Climb every mountain Ford every stream Follow every rainbow ‘Till you find your dream
