[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
