And when the evening comes, we smile.
So much of life ahead.
We'll find a place where there's room to grow.
And yes, we've just begun.— The Carpenters, "We've Only Just Begun"
"We've Only Just Begun" is The Carpenters' third single. It also became their second gold single. "We've Only Just Begun" peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Since then, many newlyweds have played "We've Only Just Begun" during the interlude of the ceremony.[1]
[edit] Conception
Richard was watching TV one night, when he heard a commercial come on the television. It was a commercial for Crocker Bank that showed a newlywed couple getting married and moving into their new home. "You've got a long way to go, we'd like to help you get there," said the commercial's slogan.[2]
