The beginning
Billy Ray Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The day that you walked through
My life story
Every need that I
Was praying for
Was gone
I love
For who I am
And I smile because
That ring on your hand
Means I'm a lucky man
[Chorus]
Cause I know what I've been living for all this time
And I swear
I could die right now
Having lived a life
And just think
It was only
The beginning
That night
The night our little girl
Would change our life
You looked up at me
And cried and smiled
As we held our child
I fell
I fell in love with her
Blue eyes and curls
And I swear to god
There's nothing in this world
I won't do for that girl
[Chorus]
Now the kids will grow up
And grow kids of their own
And the day will come
When I'll be gone
When there's nothing left
For pictures and stories
I pray that they'll know who to give the glory
Cause I know
What I've been living for all this time
And I swear
If I die right now
I've lived a life
And just think
When I see
Oh just think
You know I'll be
Oh just think
When I'm standing in his grace
It is only
The beginning
Billy Ray Cyrus's song The Beginning is a beautiful ode to family and love, capturing the essence of what truly matters in life. The lyrics speak of a man reflecting on his life as he watches his children grow and become parents themselves, while also reminiscing about the day he met his wife and the birth of their first child. The line "That day, the day that you walked through my life story" encapsulates the moment when his life changed forever, and he found the love and companionship he had been searching for. The song is filled with powerful imagery, such as the description of his daughter with "blue eyes and curls," and the line "When there's nothing left for pictures and stories, I pray that they'll know who to give the glory," which speaks to the importance of passing down family heritage and values.
The chorus of the song, featuring the line "And just think, it was only the beginning," reminds us that no matter what stage of life we are in, there is always the potential for new beginnings and opportunities for growth and love. Billy Ray Cyrus's gravelly vocals and poignant lyrics result in an emotional and powerful ballad that reminds us to cherish the people we love and the time we have with them.

That day
The moment you entered my life
The day that you walked through
The exact day that you came in my life
My life story
All my past experiences and moments that brought me to where I am today
Every need that I
Every desire that I had
Was praying for
Was something that I was wishing for
Was gone
Was no longer important because you were here
I love
I am deeply in love
I love that you love me
The fact that you love me is incredibly valuable to me
For who I am
You love me for being myself
And I smile because
I feel a sense of happiness because
That ring on your hand
The ring that signifies our commitment to each other
Means I'm a lucky man
Leads me to believe that I'm extremely fortunate
[Chorus]
The main refrain of the song
Cause I know what I've been living for all this time
I understand what has been driving me all these years
And I swear
I make a serious promise
I could die right now
I am happy enough to die at this moment
Having lived a life
Because I have lived my life to the fullest
And just think
It is remarkable to consider
It was only
It is amazing how quickly everything has happened
The beginning
This is only the start of the rest of the story
That night
The night when everything changed forever
The night our little girl
The moment our daughter came into the world
Would change our life
Which had an impact on our lives forever
You looked up at me
You made eye contact with me
And cried and smiled
And showed emotions through tears and a grin
As we held our child
As we held our newborn daughter
I fell
I fell deeply in love
I fell in love with her
I am head-over-heels for our daughter
Blue eyes and curls
Her physical characteristics that make her unique
And I swear to god
I make an oath to God
There's nothing in this world
Nothing that exists
I won't do for that girl
I would do anything for my daughter
[Chorus]
The main refrain of the song
Now the kids will grow up
As the children mature and become adults
And grow kids of their own
They will begin families of their own
And the day will come
There will be a moment in time
When I'll be gone
When I pass away
When there's nothing left
When all that remains
For pictures and stories
Are pictures and stories
I pray that they'll know who to give the glory
I hope that they will recognise where credit is due
Cause I know
I understand
What I've been living for all this time
What has been driving me all these years
If I die right now
If I died at this moment
I've lived a life
I have experienced a complete life
When I see
When I gaze upon
Oh just think
It is remarkable to consider
You know I'll be
I will actually be
When I'm standing in his grace
When I'm in a state of unmerited divine favour
It is only
It is amazing that
The beginning
This is only the start of the rest of the story
