- Artie Shaw had a fantastic "swing" hit with it in 1938 (Instrumental). | |
- Originally in Porter's stage show JUBILEE, and later in | |
"Broadway Melody of 1940". | |
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 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; | |
So don’t let them begin the beguine | |
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember; | |
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember | |
When they begin the beguine. | |
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play | |
Till the stars that were there before return 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 |
