Song Meaning
JJ Heller covers the classic love song "Till There Was You," originally from The Music Man. The lyrics describe a transformation where the singer suddenly becomes aware of beauty and love that were always present but unnoticed until a special person arrived. While the song is not explicitly Christian, its themes of awakening to love and gratitude can resonate with believers. Heller's gentle, acoustic rendition gives it a warm, reflective feel. The song focuses on personal love rather than divine love, so it is not classified as Christian.

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
