Ooo when they begin
the beguine it brings
back the sound of
music so tender
Brings back a night
of tropical splendor
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
ever to part
What moments divine
What rapture serene
Two clouds camae
along to disburse the
joys we had tasted
And now when I hear
people curse the chance
that was wasted
I'm all but too
aware 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 a dead
desire only remember
When they begin
the beguine
Oh yes let them
begin the beguine
I can't wait till
the stars that were there
before return above you
Till you whisper to
me once more
Darlin' I love you
We suddenly know
what heaven we're in
when they begin the
beguine the beguine
