I think if we sing a little more up-tempo it'll be a perfect perfect thing .

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 forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever3

It was the song the family sang on stage at a Nazi sponsored competition after which they slipped out went over the mountain and got out of Nazi occupied Austria. This is all based on a true story , Captain Von Trapp was, as his title reflects an Austrian military man. The movie is loosely based but follows the general story of the Von Trapp family singers who ultimately came to the US and open to ski lodge in I think Vermont

that flick in decades, I used to know every note though not the scenes in the movie itself. I knew it had to be something to do with its placement in the movie... the lyrics don't indicate the significance alone.

I know all the songs and recall the general story. I just wasn't making the connection to what the OP was about with little context... and now here it is.
