Till There Was You
Sitti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

It's like being able to see the world in a different light. The next lines talk about birds in the sky that the singer never saw winging until the "you" came along. This line reinforces the previous metaphor as it suggests that the singer was not fully appreciating the world until love came into her life.

There were bells on a hill
There were positive things around, yet they didn't catch my attention
But I never heard them ringing
I wasn't aware of the good things that existed around me
No, I never heard them at all
I was completely oblivious to the beauty that was around me
Till there was you
Until I met you, I never realized what I was missing
There were birds in the sky
There were joys in the world that I didn't notice
But I never saw them winging
I didn't pay attention to the good things that were happening
No, I never saw them at all
I was so caught up in my own world that I missed out on the wonders of life
Then there was music and wonderful roses
Suddenly, life became more vibrant and beautiful when I met you
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
I am now able to appreciate the simple pleasures in life
Of dawn and dew
Every moment feels like a fresh start
There was love all around
Love was present in the world, even if I didn't realize it
But I never heard it singing
I didn't recognize the beauty of love until I met you
No, I never heard it at all
Love was always around me, but I didn't acknowledge it until you opened my eyes
Till there was you
You brought out the best in me and showed me what love truly is
