There were bells    on a hill,     but I never heard them ringing

       C    Em           Dm   G7             C    Dm  G7
No I never heard them at all 'til there was you

There were birds   in the sky,      but I never saw them winging

      C      Em        Dm   G7             C    Fdim    C
No I never saw them at all 'til there was you


Bridge:
                F        Fm        C
Then there was music and wonderful roses
      A7         Dm            D7          G       G+
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew


           C    C/B      Gdim   A7     Dm    Dm7      F        Fm
There was love     all around,   but I never heard it singing

No I never heard it at all 'til there was you.

No I never heard it at all...'til there was you.
