Till there was you.

Today, I was sitting in the courtyard at college when a huge group of people, (I found out later they were the choir) started gathering and lining up. When they first started singing (the very same moment I figured out they were a choir.) I braced myself for some low quality dorky-ness. 12 seconds later, I had tears in my eyes from the sheer beauty of the voices and harmony.

I'm getting old.

I knew the song well- till there was you, from the music man. I probably saw that movie one hundred times as a kid.
I was completely obsessed with Marian the librarian. A few years ago, I learned that Marian was actually several months pregnant during the filming and they squeezed her belly with a girdle. Nice, huh?

Hearing that song was the most uplifting part of my day.
My eyes are welling up now just thinking about it.
I need more of those moments in my life.

Till There Was You
-from The Music Man

There were bells on the 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.

And there was music,
And there were 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.
