The Beginning

At the beginning, there was love

And we thought it was enough

We saw no farther than each other's arms

And though the roof leaked o'er our heads

Just a blanket for our bed

But then we had our love to keep us warm

But the winter winds blew cold

Our new love was growing old

And our words were filled with anger and regret

Our bills were more than we could pay

And we both longed for the taste

Of the freedom that we knew before we wed

But there was something greater still

Than all our fights and monthly bills

It was the knowledge of a child well on its way

And though we both longed to be free

We talked it over and we agreed

That we'd wait 'til baby came to separate

Then at last the baby arrived

And the tears filled both our eyes

As we held our newborn baby in our arms

And the love we thought was gone

Lived there three times as strong

It's not the end, it's the beginning of our home

It's not the end, it's the beginning of our home
