In The Beginning

Dolly Parton


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 days 
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 till baby came to seperate 
Then at last the day 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 mhm
