There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No, I never heard them at all
'Til there was you

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

    General Comment:In '64, Capitol Records had the first two British Beatle albums to choose from and they chose this song for the Meet the Beatles' American debut album. It lets you know what the music scene was like back then and how they seen the Beatles as a pop band and not just Rock'n'Roll.

    There had to be a few parents saying, "You know, that's not half bad!".

    General Comment:I love how Paul sings it in his Liverpudlian accent. :) "Sohre" instead of "saw" and all that. The chords to this are very unusual. Hard to master on guitar.

    Memory:I had the lead female part in "The Music Man" in our school Musical in 1964 where I sang this song and it has been one of my favorites ever since. Whenever I have to audition I always choice this song.
    To cap it off then The Beatles bought it out in a more up to date version which is just great!
    I saw the Beatles in Melbourne Australia in 1964. My son who is 30yrs old is also a fan

    General Comment:I love this rendition of the classical musical number. However, I am pretty sure the lyrics are "They tell me, in sweet, fragrant meadows of dawn and dew." Not "dawn and you". Paul has such a lovely voice.

    General Comment:Merideth Wilson was definately not Brazillian, and a lot of people usually forget that he's the one who wrote this.
