Morning Hymn 00:47

My day in the hills have come to an end, I know. The stars have come out to tell me it’s time to go, But deep in the dark green shadows 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've heard before My heart will be blessed with the sound of music, and I'll sing once more

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 strudels, doorbells and sleigh bells 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 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!

In all the famous love affairs the lovers have to struggle, In garret rooms away upstairs the lovers starve and snuggle They’re famous for misfortune which they seem to have no fear of While lovers who are very rich you very seldom hear of... No little shack do you share with me, we do not flee from a mortgagee, Nary a care in the world have we, how can love survive? You’re fond of bonds and you own a lot, I have a plane and a diesel yacht, Plenty of nothing you haven’t got! How can love survive? No rides for us on the top of a bus in the face of the freezing breezes. You reach your goals in your comfy old Rolls or in one of your Mercedeses! Far, very far of the beam are we, quaint and bizarre as a team are we, Two millionaires with a dream are we - we’re keeping romance alive! Two millionaires with a dream are we - we’ll make our love survive! No little coldwater flat have we, warmed by the glow of insolvency Up to our necks in security - how can love survive? How can I show what I feel for you? I cannot go out and steal for you, I cannot die like Camille for you - how can love survive? We millionaires with financial affairs are too busy for simple pleasure. When you are poor it is “toujours l’ amour!” For l’ amour, all the poor have leisure! Caught in our gold plated chains are we, lost in our wealthy domains are we Trapped by our capital gains are we, but we’ll keep romance alive! Trapped by our capital gains are we - we’ll make our love survive!

Perhaps I had a wicked childhood, perhaps I had a miserable youth, But somewhere in my wicked mis’rable 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.
