Begin the Beguine

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When they begin the beguine It brings back the sound of music so tender It brings back a night of tropical splendor It brings back a memory evergreen [Verse 2] I'm with you once more under the stars And down by the shore an orchestra's playing And even the palms seem to be swaying When they begin the beguine [Verse 3] To live it again is past all endeavor Except when that tune clutches my heart And there we are swеaring to love forever And promising nеver, never to part [Verse 4] What moments divine, what rapture serene Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted I know but too well what they mean [Verse 5] So don't let them begin the beguine Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember Let it sleep like a dead desire I only remember When they begin the beguine [Verse 6] Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play Till the stars that were there before remain above you Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you" And we suddenly know what heaven we're in When they begin the beguine [Outro] When they begin the beguine
