The Beatles - Till There Was You Lyrics

The Beatles Lyrics

"Till There Was You"
(originally by Sue Raney)

There were bells on a 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

Then there was music and 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

Then there was music and 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
Till there was you

This song was written by songwriter Meredith Willson in 1957 for the Broadway musical "The Music Man". The only Broadway song that The Beatles covered.

Peggy Lee's version of "'Til There Was You" was a minor hit in the UK in 1961. Paul McCartney's cousin, Bett Robbins, drew his attention to that song. McCartney said, "I had no idea until much later that it was from 'The Music Man'." He loved the show tunes and wanted to cover one of them.
