Begin
Bonnie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a woman
And here we are
Locked together
Living on this lonely star
But we can stay here
Like the mountains do
Like the leaves we tumble
But baby before we do
Before we do

Let the show begin
Let the orchestra play
Let the dancers in
And we'll dance the night away
Let the show begin
Get me lost in your kiss
If we don't remember anything
We'll sure remember this
If we don't remember anything
We'll sure remember this

Who am I, love
Who are you
Locked together
Wondering where we're going to
An old man told me
How his life just flew
And the years went quickly
But baby before they do
Before they do

Let the show begin
Let the carnival start
Let the dancers in
Take your partners to your hearts
Let the show begin
Let the orchestra play
If we don't remember anything
We won't forget today
If we don't remember anything
We won't forget today

Let the show begin
Get me lost in your kiss
If we don't remember anything
We'll sure remember this




If we don't remember anything
We'll sure remember this

Line by Line Meaning

I'm a woman
I am a female human being


And here we are
We are present in this moment together


Locked together
Bound to each other in some way


Living on this lonely star
Existing on this isolated planet Earth


But we can stay here
We have the option to remain together


Like the mountains do
We can be steadfast and unchanging


Like the leaves we tumble
We can be free and organic in our movements


But baby before we do
Before we take any action


Before we do
Before we make any decisions


Let the show begin
Let the performance start


Let the orchestra play
Let the musical accompaniment commence


Let the dancers in
Allow the performers to enter the stage


And we'll dance the night away
We will enjoy ourselves by dancing until the night ends


Get me lost in your kiss
Engage in a passionate kiss with me


If we don't remember anything
If we cannot recall any details


We'll sure remember this
We will definitely remember this moment


Who am I, love
Asking a rhetorical question to their loved one


Who are you
Asking a rhetorical question to their loved one


Wondering where we're going to
Pondering their future together


An old man told me
Sharing a piece of advice given to them by an elderly man


How his life just flew
How time has flown by in his life


And the years went quickly
Time passed by rapidly


Let the carnival start
Let the festivities begin


Take your partners to your hearts
Embrace your dance partners


If we don't remember anything
If we cannot recall any details


We won't forget today
We will remember this day


If we don't remember anything
If we cannot recall any details


We'll sure remember this
We will definitely remember this moment
