THE SOUND OF MUSIC
MARIA
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.

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 wimpole
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.
BERTHA
She's always late for everything,
Except for every meal.
MOTHER ABBESS
From all of which, I take it,
That you 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 bring it down?
MARGARETTA
How do you find a word that means Maria?
BERTHA
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 dazed and 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,
BETHE
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 clown 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?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I HAVE CONFIDENCE
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 pacing adventure
Then why am I so scared?
A captain with seven children...
What's so 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!

MY FAVOURITE 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!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SIXTEEN GOING ON SEVENTEEN
You wait little girl on an empty stage for fate to turn the light on
Your life little girl is an empty page that men will want to write on
To write on
You are sixteen going on seventeen baby it's time to think
Better beware be canny and careful baby you're on the brink
You are sixteen going on seventeen fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads and roues and cads will offer you food and wine
Totally unprepared are you to face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you of things beyond your ken
You need someone older and wiser telling you what to do
I am seventeen going on eighteen I'll take care of you.
I am sixteen going on seventeen I know that I'm naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet and willingly I believe
I am sixteen going on seventeen innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies drinkers of brandies what do I know of those?
Totally unprepared am I to face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared am I of things beyond my ken
I need someone older and wiser telling me what to do
You are seventeen going on eighteen I'll depend on you.

SO LONG, FAREWELL
There's a sad sort of clanking from the clock in the hall
and the bells in the steeple too.
And up in the nursery an absurd little bird is popping up to say cukoo!
Cukoo! Cukoo!
Regretfully they tell us
But firmly they compel us to say goodbye to you.
So long Farewell Aufwiedersehn Goodnight
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight
So long farewell Aufwiedersehn Adeiu
Adeiu Adeiu to yieu and yieu and yieu
So long farewell Au 'voire Aufwiedersehn
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
So long farewell aufwiedersehn goodbye
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye Goodbye
I'm glad to go I cannot tell a lie
I flit I float I fleetly flee I fly
The sun has gone to bed and so must I
So long farewell aufwiedersehn goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN
Climb every mountain

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
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

SOMETHING GOOD
Perhaps I had a wicked hildhood
Perhaps I had a miserable youth
But somewhere in my wicked miserable past
There must have been a moment of truth
For here you are standing there loving me
Whether or not you should
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good
Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good.
For here you are standing there loving me
Whether or not you should
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good
Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good.
Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something , something good
