| [00:09.25] |
When they begin the beguine |
| [00:15.61] |
It brings back the sound of music so tender, |
| [00:23.41] |
It brings back a night of tropical splendor, |
| [00:31.17] |
It brings back a memory ever green. |
| [00:38.93] |
Im with you once more under the stars, |
| [00:46.63] |
And down by the shore an orchestras playing |
| [00:51.88] |
|
| [00:54.50] |
And even the palms seem to be swaying |
| [01:02.79] |
When they begin the beguine. |
| [01:07.11] |
|
| [01:09.81] |
To live it again is past all endeavor, |
| [01:17.89] |
Except when that tune clutches my heart, |
| [01:22.94] |
|
| [01:25.06] |
And there we are, swearing to love forever, |
| [01:30.31] |
|
| [01:31.74] |
And promising never, never to part. |
| [01:38.23] |
|
| [01:40.48] |
What moments divine, what rapture serene, |
| [01:46.19] |
|
| [01:47.93] |
Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted, |
| [01:53.52] |
|
| [01:55.53] |
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted, |
| [02:00.96] |
|
| [02:02.89] |
I know but too well what they mean; |
| [02:08.21] |
|
| [02:09.96] |
So dont let them begin the beguine |
| [02:15.70] |
|
| [02:17.57] |
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember; |
| [02:23.02] |
|
| [02:25.33] |
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember |
| [02:30.21] |
|
| [02:33.47] |
When they begin the beguine. |
| [02:37.53] |
|
| [02:39.96] |
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play |
| [02:47.57] |
Till the stars that were there before return above you, |
| [02:55.00] |
Till you whisper to me once more, |
| [02:58.76] |
Darling, I love you! |
| [03:02.95] |
And we suddenly know what heaven were in, |
| [03:10.97] |
When they begin the beguine |
