| [00:11.25] |
When they begin the beguine |
| [00:18.18] |
It brings back the sound of music so tender |
| [00:24.99] |
It brings back a night of tropical splendor |
| [00:32.07] |
It brings back a memory evergreen |
| [00:39.09] |
I'm with you once more under the stars |
| [00:46.14] |
And down by the shore an orchestra's playing |
| [00:50.91] |
And even the palms seem to be swaying |
| [01:00.27] |
When they begin the beguine |
| [01:03.69] |
To live it again is past all endeavor |
| [01:13.29] |
Except when that tune clutches my heart |
| [01:19.74] |
And there we are swearing to love forever |
| [01:25.26] |
And promising never, never to part |
| [01:32.40] |
What moments divine, what rapture serene |
| [01:38.55] |
Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted |
| [01:44.55] |
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted |
| [01:50.34] |
I know but too well what they mean |
| [01:55.44] |
So don't let them begin the beguine, let them play |
| [02:01.14] |
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember |
| [02:06.63] |
Let it sleep like a dead desire, I only remember |
| [02:12.57] |
When they begin the beguine |
| [02:15.45] |
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play |
| [02:23.19] |
Till the stars that were there before remain above you |
| [02:28.74] |
Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you" |
| [02:34.14] |
And we suddenly know what heaven we're in |
| [02:40.29] |
When they begin the beguine |
| [02:45.93] |
When they begin the beguine, oh |
| [03:16.17] |
Oh, the beguine |
