When they begin the geguine
It brings back the sound of music to tender
It brings back a night of tropical splendor
It brings back a memeory ever green
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
To live it again is past all endeavor
Except when that tune clutches my heart
And there we are, swearing to love forever
And promising never, never to part
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
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, please make them play
Till the stars that were there before return above you
Till you whisper to me once more,"Daring, I love you"
Then we suddenly know what heaven we're in
When they begin the beguine
