|
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 |
|
I'm with you once more under the stars |
|
And down by the shore, an orchestra's playin' |
|
Even the palms seem to be swayin' |
|
When they begin the beguine |
|
To live it again is past all endeavor |
|
Except when the tune clutches my heart |
|
And there we are, swearin' to love forever |
|
And promising never, never to part |
|
What moments divine, what rapture serene |
|
Till clouds come along to disperse the joys we have tasted |
|
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted |
|
I know but too well 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 the dead desire, I only remember |
|
When they begin the beguine |
|
When they begin the beguine |
|
When they begin the beguine |
