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

Gaither Vocal Band performs 'Til There Was You,' a song that expresses how love and beauty become apparent only after meeting a special person. The lyrics use imagery of bells, birds, music, and roses to convey a transformation from unawareness to joyful recognition. While the song is often associated with romantic love, its message can also be interpreted spiritually, reflecting how God's love opens one's eyes to the wonders around. The performance by the Gaither Vocal Band brings a gospel warmth to the piece, though the lyrics themselves do not explicitly mention Christian themes.
