There once was a man named Michael Finnigan He grew whiskers on his chinnigan The wind came along and blew them in again Poor old Michael Finnigan, begin again.
You gotta begin at the beginning When you're spinning a story or a prayer That's your best chance of winning The approval of the audience out there And up there Never mind who's listening down there - Hey!

Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with A B C
When you sing you begin with do re mi
from The Sound of Music
When they begin the beguine, It brings back the SOUND OF MUSIC so tender
Cole Porter (and a cool follow-up to the preceding post)
Now I see a family where there once was none, now we've just begun,
Yeah, we're gonna fly to the sun.
Danny's Song ~ Kenny Loggins
Mama, life had just begun
And now I've gone and thrown it all away
Queen, too sad even when Weird Al did it as a polka
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
Everywhere you go,
Perry Como
with that dreadful 'Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again' line....
I've got beginner's luck
The first time that I'm in love
I'm in love with you
Gosh, I'm lucky!
(G. Gershwin/I. Gershwin)
Where do I begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be
I never went in for afterglow
Or candlelight on the mistletoe
But now when you turn the lamp down low
I'm beginning to see the light
(Ellington/James)

From this moment
life has begun
from this moment
you are the one
right beside you is where I belong
from this moment on...
---Shania Twain
We've only just begun to live,
white lace and promises,
a kiss for luck and we're on our way
The Carpenters
Let's start the new year right
Twelve o'clock tonight
When they dim the light, let's begin
Kissing the old year out
And the new year in
(Irving Berlin)
Now here we are, and I’m suddenly standing at the beginning with you.
from Disney's Anastasia
We've only just begun to live,
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way.
And yes, We've just begun.
You're more than beginning;
You're learning to fly.
It feels like you're falling,
But it passes in time.
--"From Me to You," Janis Ian
