Silent Tree Music - Song Lyrics 

( Famous people song lyrics )
THAT IS, 'TIL THERE WAS YOU
Copyright © 1998 - MickTerry.com

I knew Murphy before he went to law school.
I knew old Jonah when he used to like to fish.
I knew Midas before he made his millions.
But I never knew someone that gave me every wish.

I knew Wilbur & Orville before they got the right stuff.
I knew Magellan before he got it straight.
I knew Socrates when he wasn't quite so thirsty.
But I never knew someone who treated me so great.

    THAT IS, 'TIL THERE WAS YOU,
    a gem from the depths of the ocean.
    THAT IS, 'TIL THERE WAS YOU,
    a star pulled from the sky.
    I may have been around.
    I may have known a whole lot of souls.
    THAT IS, 'TIL THERE WAS YOU,
    my life's never been so full.

I knew Tarzan before he was a swinger.
I knew Houdini when he couldn't untie a knot.
I knew Moses when he couldn't find pen and paper.
But I never knew someone who's got just what you've got.

I knew Alexander when he was still inferior.
I knew Napoleon before his suspenders broke.
I knew Lucy when Desi didn't love her.
But I never knew someone who could tell me such a joke.

    CHORUS

        No matter how many lives I've lived
        or how many seeds I've sewn,
        it all seems to keep coming back to me
        in different ways I've grown.

I knew Billy when he was just a toddler.
I knew Tom Edison before he saw the light.
I knew Samson before he brought the house down.
But I never knew someone who'd so quickly end a fight.

I knew Abraham Lincoln when he was still a fibber.
I knew young Einstein and all his relatives.
I knew Madonna before she was a virgin.
But I never knew someone who had so much to give.

    CHORUS
