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
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
