[00:07.13]When they begin, begin the beguine,
[00:12.13]It brings back the sound of music so tender.
[00:17.89]It brings back a night of tropical splendor.
[00:23.45]It brings back a memory evergreen.
[00:29.20]I'm with you once more, I'm with you under the stars,
[00:33.14]Under the stars.
[00:34.83]And down by the shore an orchestra's playin'.
[00:40.52]And even the palms seem to be swayin', oh swayin',
[00:46.52]When they begin, when they begin the beguine.
[00:52.63]To live it again is past all endeavor,
[00:55.67]Is past all endeavor.
[00:58.12]Except when that tune clutches my heart,
[01:01.32]Clutches my heart,
[01:03.06]And there we are, swearing to love forever,
[01:07.95]And promising never, never to part.
[01:13.82]Patty:
[01:14.45]What moments divine, what rapture serene,
[01:20.00]Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted.
[01:25.56]And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted,
[01:30.12]
[01:30.96]I know but too well, I know too well what they mean.
[01:35.53]Too well what they mean.
[01:37.21]All:
[01:37.46]So let them begin, begin the beguine.
[01:42.14]Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember.
[01:47.89]Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember,
[01:53.59]When they begin the beguine.
[01:59.09]Oh, yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play,
[02:04.93]Till the stars that were there before return above you.
[02:10.53]Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you!"
[02:16.18]And we suddenly know what heaven we're in,
[02:22.48]When they begin, begin the beguine.
[02:28.68]Begin beguine.
[02:31.20]Begin beguine.
[02:34.02]Begin beguine.
[02:36.40]Dada dadada da-da da-da la-dada-dat.
[02:39.42]Begin the beguine.
