Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
I'm with you once more under the stars
And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
And even the palm seem to be swaying
When they begin the beguine
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
What moments divine, what rapture serene
Two 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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
When they begin the beguine
