[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
