When We Begin Lyrics - Ellis Paul

The black strapless dress fits just right 

The calendar's marked 6 friday night 

She puts on a little makeup 

First time since the break up 

But if she's moving on, she's gonna do it right 

Chorus 

So tell me the story 

Of all your past glories 

The lovers, the losers, the friends. 

Spill all your magic, 

The good times, and the tragic 

Tonight will this mystery end? 

When we begin, when we begin. 

His cab driver says, "here we are." 

It's pouring outside on the boulevard 

But he smiles as he tips him, 

Though a nervousness grips him 

He looks up at the place and pulls the door ajar 

Chorus 

She takes one last glance in the mirror 

He shakes himself off on the stairs 

He's fixing up the flowers 

She's looking up at the hour 

They both make a wish for one goodnight kiss 

He's knocking at the door... 

Chorus
