Song Description

A tribute to Karen & Richard Carpenter's "We've Only Just Begun". It saddens me to think Karen died so young and why.

Lyrics

We've Only Started Finding Our Way
(Rewrite of "We've Only Just Begun" by The Carpenters
(c) 2025 Michael Hanson Cantwell

We've only started finding our way,
Soft dreams and quiet vows we made,
A lucky spark, a kiss goodbye--
Now off we go, beneath wide skies.

The morning lifts, and we take flight,
So many paths beneath the light.
We've wandered slow, now pick up pace,
Our journey's more than just a place.

[Chorus]
We're chasing sights that feel brand new,
Reading signs, me and you.
Talking low, side by side,
One step, then the next, in stride.
We'll carve out space where dreams can grow--
Oh yes, we're just starting to know.

We're sharing things we've never seen,
Making sense of what they mean.
We laugh, we dream, we plan ahead,
So many things still left unsaid.
But hand in hand, the seeds we sow--
And yes, we're just starting to grow.

[Final Chorus]
And if this is just the start, then let it be bold--
With every step, our story unfolds.
No map, no script, just hearts that know--
We're just getting started... and we're ready to go.
And we're ready to go
And we're ready to go

[Chorus]
We're chasing sights that feel brand new,
Reading signs, me and you.
Talking low, side by side,
One step, then the next, in stride.
We'll carve out space where dreams can grow--
Oh yes, we're just starting to know.

As daylight fades, we lean into the hush,
With open hearts, no need to rush.
We'll build a world where dreams can breathe--
This is only the first of many scenes.

When the stars appear, I pull you near,
Whispers soft, with futures clear.
In your arms, I've come to know--
We've only started finding our way... (woooo, waaaahhhh)
In your arms, I finally see--
The start of all we're meant to be... (ohhhh, yeaaahhh)
We've only started finding our way... (woooo, waaaahhhh)
Yes, we've only started finding our way... (woooo, waaaahhhh)
Yes, we've only started finding our way... (woooo, waaaahhhh)
