The Beginning Of The End

(album: This Is Barbara Mandrell - 1976)

In the beginning there was love
And there was nothing that love couldn't rise above
Those were such good times
Even the sad times were such good times

In the beginning it was us
And it would be that way until we turned to dust
But now it's you and it's me
So much has come between us

It's the beginning of the end once we were lovers now we're friends
We're acting like strangers more and more
It's the beginning of the end now love is just a place we've been
We don't love there anymore
We don't love there anymore

And though the end is now in sight
We'll stay here through another night
And we'll just lie here then and remember when we were lovers

It's the beginning of the end once we were lovers now we're friends
We're acting like strangers more and more
It's the beginning of the end now love is just a place we've been
And we don't love there anymore

It's the beginning of the end...
