Beginning of Us - Jack Savoretti

Time has been a good friend

Never let me down

Always give me hope

When hope was nowhere to be found

And you have given me the greatest gift of all

A gift that’s full of life

It was the end of you and me

But the beginning of us

All we have now are memories

Of the freedom we’ve lost

It was the end of you and me

But the beginning of us

Now the child looking up at me

Is asking only for love

And now we live forever

In every breath they take

Forgetting our regrets

Forgiving our mistakes

And tears have turned to laugher

That echo through these halls

Our happy ever after

It was the end of you and me

But the beginning of us

All we have now are memories

Of the freedom we’ve lost

It was the end of you and me

But the beginning of us

Now the child looking up at me

Is asking only for love

So sing with me this lullaby

Now we’ve learned to live, we don’t want to die

Just sing with me this lullaby

Now we’ve learned to live, we don’t want to die

It was the end of you and me

But the beginning of us

All we have now are memories

Of the freedom we’ve lost

It was the end of you and me

But the beginning of us

Now the child looking up at me

Is asking only for love

The beginning of us

The beginning of us

The beginning of us

The beginning of us

Oh, oh, oh

The beginning of us
