| [00:11.97] |
When they begin the beguine |
| [00:18.90] |
It brings back the sound of music so tender |
| [00:25.71] |
It brings back a night of tropical splendor |
| [00:32.79] |
It brings back a memory evergreen |
| [00:39.81] |
I'm with you once more under the stars |
| [00:46.83] |
And down by the shore an orchestra's playing |
| [00:51.63] |
And even the palms seem to be swaying |
| [01:00.96] |
When they begin the beguine |
| [01:02.55] |
To live it again is past all endeavor |
| [01:13.98] |
Except when that tune clutches my heart |
| [01:20.46] |
And there we are swearing to love forever |
| [01:25.95] |
And promising never, never to part |
| [01:33.09] |
What moments divine, what rapture serene |
| [01:39.24] |
Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted |
| [01:45.21] |
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted |
| [01:51.03] |
I know but too well what they mean |
| [01:56.13] |
So don't let them begin the beguine, let them play |
| [02:01.83] |
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember |
| [02:07.32] |
Let it sleep like a dead desire, I only remember |
| [02:13.23] |
When they begin the beguine |
| [02:16.14] |
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play |
| [02:23.88] |
Till the stars that were there before remain above you |
| [02:29.43] |
Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you" |
| [02:34.80] |
And we suddenly know what heaven we're in |
| [02:40.95] |
When they begin the beguine |
| [02:46.59] |
When they begin the beguine, oh |
| [03:16.05] |
Oh, the beguine |
