Artist/Band: Ray Charles
Lyrics for Song: Till There Was You
Lyrics for Album: Genius & Soul - The 50th Anniversary Collection [1997]



Oh, there were bells on a hill, yeah

And I never heard 'em ringing

I, I never heard them at all, oh

Till there was you, baby, oh no, oh, no, no



There were birds in the sky

And I never saw them winging, winging

Out at night I never saw them at all

Till there was you



Then there was music

And there was wonderful roses

Y'all tell me that it's sweet fragrant meadows

Of dawn and dew



There was love, the thing got all around me

And I never heard it singin, oh, singin'

Out at night I never heard anything at all

Till there was you



Then there was music

And wonderful roses

Didn't I say, they tell me in sweet fragrant meadows

Of dawn and dew



Yes, there was love and it got all around me, baby

And I never heard it singin' , oh, singin'

Out at night, I never heard it at all

Till there was you


Till There Was You

Ray Charles's rendition of "Till There Was You" stands as a testament to his unparalleled ability to reinterpret material across genres. Originally composed for the musical *The Music Man*, the song found a new life through Charles's distinctive vocal style, which blended gospel fervor with pop sensibility. This recording captures the artist at the height of his creative powers, showcasing his mastery of emotional delivery and dynamic range. By incorporating the track into his extensive discography, Charles demonstrated his willingness to explore lighter, more romantic themes alongside his signature blues and R&B hits. The performance remains a cherished example of how a legendary vocalist can transform a theatrical standard into a timeless piece of popular music, resonating with audiences through its sincere and heartfelt execution.
