Lyrics
ALL BEGINNING
(verse 1)
Long ago when the world began with the rivers running free,
with the grass a magic carpet, and the wind a gown for Eve, billowing.
Long ago when the world began,
when the stars were very young,
Adam hummed along beside her - the first tune they?d ever sung, da da dum...
(chorus)
The sun had learned to shine.
It was ALL BEGINNING
with elephants and music, banana trees and wine,
and all around, love was the best thing they found.
(verse 2)
Long ago when the world began with the earth a melon green
there was dancing on the waters, and the leaves were tambourines, ringing.
Long ago when the world began with the moon a mystery,
every day became an answer; every night was history, turning...
(chorus)
The sun had learned to shine.
It was ALL BEGINNING
with elephants and music, banana trees and wine,
and all around, love was the best thing they found.
(bridge)
When the winter would close around them
(icy-white and cold)
pulling all of their love around them, together they?d be patient
until the dawn of spring sent a marigold.
(chorus)
The sun had learned to shine.
It was ALL BEGINNING
with elephants and music, banana trees and wine,
and all around, love was the best thing they found.
