Another Year Begins

Song: We've Only Just Begun

Artists: The Carpenters

From The 1970 Album: Close To You

Written By: Roger Nichols & Paul Williams

        This song is said to be The Carpenters "signature song".  Much of my teen years were spent listening to The Carpenters. Karen Carpenter had one of the most powerful voices around. It is funny, now as an adult, I find myself listening to Carpenters songs when I am in a sad mood.  

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 start out walking,
And learn to run.
And yes! We've just begun.

Sharin' horizons that are new to us,
Watchin' 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.
