There were bells
on the hill,
but I nev er heard them ring ing.
No, I nev er heard them at all
till there was you.
There were birds
in the sky,
but I nev er saw them wing ing.
No, I nev er saw them at all
till there was you.
And there was mu sic
and there were won der ful ros es,
they tell me,
in sweet
fra grant mead ows
of dawn,
and dew.
There was love
all a round,
but I nev er heard it sing ing.
No, I nev er heard it at all
till there was you.
There were bells
on the hill,
but I nev er heard them ring ing.
No, I nev er heard them at all
till there was you.
There were birds
in the sky,
but I nev er saw them wing ing.
No, I nev er saw them at all
till there was you.
And there was mu sic
and there were won der ful ros es,
they tell me,
in sweet
fra grant mead ows
of dawn,
and dew.
There was love
all a round,
but I nev er heard it sing ing.
No, I nev er heard it at all
till there was you.
There were you.
