LYRICS

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

COMMENTS

Performed during a wedding in Spring of 1978 as Tori's father, Rev. Edison Amos, presides - found on the Tori Stories bootleg.

"The thing I did at a wedding was something completely different - I was just being paid ten bucks to sing. The big requests then were Evergreen, We've Only Just Begun, The Wedding Song, you know. I did Baltimore in a studio, you know and I did the wedding things at a real wedding that somebody taped, probably with a terrible little tape recorder, and not just because of me, just taping the service. So it could've been a few years apart."
-- Tori; Record Collector Magazine, Nov 99

T: I do weddings.
J: Oh really?
T: I could have done your wedding. I've done We've Only Just Begun and those fantastic, favorite songs. I mean, they're good, but yeah, "you played in my wedding," yeah. It scared the bootleg out of me, playing at someone's wedding.
-- Tori; The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, September 17, 1998

"I mean the one thing is as I've always said, you didn't have to play We've Only Just Begun at the funerals which is kinda a nice break because you were playing that at the weddings at that time it was Evergreen you know...We've Only Just Begun all that.
-- Tori; The World Cafe (88.5 FM), Nov 9, 2001

"Playing weddings and funerals, working for my dad. The funerals were better than the weddings, you had more of a song selection, and i didn't have to play We've Only Just Begun - I got tired of playing that and the wedding song at every wedding. You couldn't play Killing Me Softly at the funerals either."
