1.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, There 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 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 heard before. My heart will be blessed With the sound of music And I'll sing once more. 2.Maria Berthe She climbs a tree And scrapes her knee Her dress has got a tear. Sophia She waltzes on her way to mass And whistles on the stair. Berthe And underneath her wimple She has curlers in her hair! Sophia Maria's not an asset to the abbey. Berthe She's always late for chapel, Margaretta But her penitence is real. Berthe She's always late for everything, Except for every meal. Mother Abbess I hate to have to say it But I very firmly feel Berthe and Sophia Maria's not an asset to the abbey! Margaretta I'd like to say a word in her behalf. Maria makes me laugh! Sophia How do you solve a problem like Maria? Mother Abbess How do you catch a cloud and pin it down? Margaretta How do you find a word that means Maria? Berthe A flibberti gibbet! Sophia A willo' the wisp! Margaretta A clown! Mother Abbess Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her, Many a thing she ought to understand. Margaretta But how do you make her stay And listen to all you say, Mother Abbess How do you keep a wave upon the sand? Margaretta Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria? Mother Abbess How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand? Margaretta When I'm with her I'm confused Out of focus and bemused, And I never know exactly where I am. Sophia Unpredictable as weather, She's as flighty as a feather, Margaretta She's a darling, Berthe She's a demon, Margaretta She's a lamb. Sophia She'd out-pester any pest, Drive a hornet from his nest, Berthe She could throw a whirling dervish Out of whirl. Margaretta She is gentle, She is wild, Sophia She's a riddle. Margaretta She's a child. Berthe She's a headache! Margaretta She's an angel! Mother Abbess She's a girl. All How do you solve a problem like Maria? How do you catch a cloud and pin it down? How do you find a word that means Maria? A flibberti gibbet! A willo' the wisp! A clown! Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her, Many a thing she ought to understand. But how do you make her say, And listen to all you say? How do you keep a wave upon the sand? Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria? How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand? 3.I Have Confidence In Me Maria What will this day be like? I wonder. What will my future be? I wonder. It could be so exciting, To be out in the world, To be free! My heart should be wildly rejoicing. Oh, what's the matter with me? I've always longed for adventure, To do the things I've never dared. Now here I'm facing adventure Then why am I so scared? A captain with seven children... What's a fearsome about that? Oh, I must stop these doubts, All these worries. If I don't I just know I'll turn back! I must dream of the things I am seeking. I am seeking the courage I lack. The courage to serve them with reliance, Face my mistakes without defiance. Show them I'm worthy And while I show them I'll show me! So, let them bring on all their problems, I'll do better than my best. I have confidence They'll put me to the test! But I'll make them see I have confidence in me. Somehow I will impress them. I will be firm, but kind. And all those children, Heaven bless them They will look up to me And mind me! With each step I am more certain, Everything will turn out fine. I have confidence, The world can all be mine! They'll have to agree I have confidence in me. I have confidence in sunshine, I have confidence in rain. I have confidence that spring will come again! Besides, which you see I have confidence in me. Strength doesn't lie in numbers. Strength doesn't lie in wealth, Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers, When you wake up, wake up! It can be all I trust I leave my heart to, All I trust becomes my own! I have confidence in confidence alone. I have confidence in confidence alone! Besides, which you see, I have confidence in me! 4.My Favorite Things Maria Raindrops on roses, And whiskers on kittens, Bright copper kettles And warm woolen mittens. Brown paper packages Tied up with string, These are a few of my favorite things. Cream colored ponies, And crisp apple strudel. Doorbells and sleighbells And schnitzel with noodles, Wild geese that fly With the moon on their wings, These are a few of my favorite things. Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes, Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes, Silver white winters that melt into springs 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! 5.Do-Re-Mi Maria Let's start at the very beginning.
