There were bells on the hill,
But I never heard them ringing.
No, I never heard them at all.
Till there was you.

There were birds in the sky.
But I never saw them winging.
No, I never saw them at all.
Till there was you.

And there was music,
And there were wonderful roses.
They tell me, in sweet fragrant
Meadows of dawn, and dew.

There was love all around,
But I never heard it singing.
No, I never heard it at all,
Till there was you!

Instrumental break.

And there was music,
Wonderful roses.
They tell me, in sweet fragrant
Meadows of dawn, and dew.

There was love all around,

No, I never heard it at all,
Till there was you!

1"Till There Was You" was written by Meredith Willson for his 1957 musical,
The Music Man. It also appeared in the 1962 movie version. The song was by
Barbara Cook on Broadway and Shirley Jones in the film. The first recording
of this song to be released came even before the original cast album version
of January, 1958. Promotional copies of the 45 RPM single, Capitol P3847, by
Sue Ramey was released on November 26, 1957. In 1959, Anita Bryant recorded
a single which reached #30 on the Billboard Hot 100; a 1962 instrumental
version by Valjean was also popular. The Beatles' version was included on
their albums With the Beatles (UK Release, 1963) and Meet the Beatles (US
Release, 1964). It was part of their club repertoire in 1962 and was included
in their Royal Command Performance in 1963 and the Ed Sullivan show in 1964.
The song was the only Broadway tune the Beatles ever recorded. Peggy Lee's
version was a minor success. Other notable covers are, Ray Charles-1972,
Rod Stewart-1979 and Nana Mouskouri-2000.
