We've Only Just Begun

"We've Only Just Begun" was written by Paul Williams and Roger Nichols, and became a #2 hit for the Carpenters in 1970. It has since become a wedding standard, and has been the subject of numerous covers.

[Verse 1: Karen Carpenter] 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 rising sun, we fly So many roads to choose We'll start out walking and learn to run And yes, we've just begun [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] 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 [Outro] (Flute and Piano)
