We've Only Just Begun
Bob Tostes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
(We've only begun)
Before the risin' sun, we fly
So many roads to choose
We'll start out walkin' and learn to run
(And yes, we've just begun)
Watching the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' 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)
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
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
In Bob Tostes's "We've Only Just Begun," the singer expresses excitement and anticipation for their new life ahead with their partner. It could be interpreted as a wedding day where the couple is starting a new journey together. They have only just begun to live and have white lace and promises, which could be symbolic of their love and commitment. The kiss for luck represents their hope for a happy future.
The singer acknowledges that there are many roads to choose from, but they will learn to run eventually. The couple is embarking on a new adventure together and are open to new horizons. They will face obstacles and challenges along the way, but they will work together day to day and talk things over just the two of them. The evening brings a sense of comfort to them as they smile and look forward to the life ahead.
The repetition of "we've only just begun" emphasizes the idea of starting anew and the excitement that comes with it. The song encapsulates the feelings of hope, determination, and love that come with a new beginning.
