Lyrics
We’ve only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we’re on our way
We’ve only begunBefore the rising sun we fly
So many roads to choose
We start out walking and learn to run
And yes, we’ve just begunSharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way
Talking it over just the two of us
Working together day to day
TogetherAnd when the evening comes we smile
So much of life ahead
We’ll find a place where there’s room to grow
And yes, we’ve just begun
