The End of the Beginning

A very special song for a very special girl:

What place is there to start, but where it started?
Those big brown eyes hit me like bolts of lightning
my silly sense of romance called them 'stunning'
I asked you to be mine as that homeroom bell was ringing

and we're still one today
eight years later... i can finally say...

listen
bells outside are ringing
bittersweet they're singing
just sit and watch the show
but darling don't you know
we've come into our own
it's the end of the beginning.

Two years we spent just breathing on the weekends
the times i held you in my arms were bookends
to days spent long and lonely in the mountains
sometimes the waiting hours tried my patience

but distance makes the heart grow strong
i'm not lying when i tell you... I knew all along

listen
bells outside are ringing
to honor us they're singing
the world just has to know
we stick closer as we grow
from here to the unknown
it's the end of the beginning.

so many times you've asked me for your own song
but i can't make what makes you great and my words play along
your mind-- your love, your drive your beauty-- they're all on
the list of things mere words would do wrong

but i promised that i'd try
don't spend too much time... just wondering why

listen!
bells outside are ringing
joyously they're singing
you're living poetry
you're everything indeed
it's the end of the beginning

so won't you marry me?
