Lyrics of
The Sound Of Music - Edelweiss

Edelweiss is a song from the musical The Sound of Music, composed by Richard Rodgers (music) and Oscar Hammerstein II (lyrics). Despite often being thought of as a traditional Austrian folk song, it was written for the musical in 1959. The song is a homage to the Edelweiss flower, which grows in the Alps and is a symbol of purity and resilience. It is featured in the musical as an act of patriotic defiance against the Nazi occupation.

Edelweiss, edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow, fore - ver
Edelweiss, edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever
