During the 70s when Marianne and I met, the musical group “The Carpenters” was popular. I remember this song from that time. I believe I even heard it playing on the radio in the student center of Knox College, where I was a professor and Marianne was a student! Many years later the song keeps coming back to me, and by some miracle, even though Marianne is no longer on the physical plane, it does indeed feel like “we’ve only just begun”.
We've only just begun to live White lace and promises A kiss for luck and we're on our way (We've only begun) Before the risin' sun, we fly So many roads to choose We'll start out walkin' and learn to run (And yes, we've just begun) Sharing horizons that are new to us Watching the signs along the way Talkin' it over, just the two of us Workin' 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) Sharing horizons that are new to us Watching the signs along the way Talkin' it over, just the two of us Workin' together day to day Together 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
