perfect, just us...

we've only just begun to live

white lace and promises

a kiss for luck and we're on our way

and yes we've just begun

before the rising sun we fly

so many roads to choose

we start our walking and learn to run

and yes we've just begun

sharing 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

together

and 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.

"you'll go down the tubes!" my dad said worried, holding his head

"you made your bed, and now you'll be eating it." my grandpa whispered

to me in the receiving line at the church.

"for better or worse, for richer for poorer, in good times and in bad"

we promised to each other

you in that tacky blue tux, me in my borrowed dress

we didn't go down the tubes, although we have ridden some storms

from the eye of the hurricane we've held on tight

to each other, our life together, our family and our love

31 years ago today

we've only just begun

dance with me

i want to be your partner...forever

-t.

we've only just begun by the carpenters

a song from our wedding day
