There were bells
On the hill
But I never heard them ringing
No, I never heard them at all
Til I met you
I recall hearing Paul McCartney sing that song. And he sang it very well. I was certain that he had written it, but no, that song was from a movie that came out years before he recorded it. The song is similar to some of his best original music,
such as Here, There & Everywhere.
'Til There Was You" is the correct line and title.
The song originated in the Meredith Wilson 1957 stage show and 1962 movie, The Music Man, a duet between Harold Hill, the traveling salesman, and "Marian, the librarian."
