[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
