Lyrics

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.
