[al:De-Lovely (Music From the Motion Picture)]
[00:08.970]When they begin the beguine
[00:17.750]It brings back the sound of music so tender,
[00:26.840]It brings back a night of tropical splendor,
[00:35.720]It brings back a memory ever green.
[00:45.030]I'm with you once more under the stars,
[00:53.910]And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
[01:02.990]And even the palms seem to be swaying
[01:12.210]When they begin the beguine.
[01:21.490]To live it again is past all endeavor,
[01:30.170]Except when that tune clutches my heart,
[01:39.000]And there we are, swearing to love forever,
[01:47.500]And promising never, never to part.
[01:57.790]What moments divine, what rapture serene,
[02:06.570]Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted,
[02:15.670]And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted,
[02:24.790]I know but too well what they mean;
[02:32.870]So don't let them begin the beguine
[02:42.390]Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember;
[02:51.760]Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
[03:01.610]When they begin the beguine.
[03:09.200]Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play
[03:19.390]Till the stars that were there before return above you,
[03:27.680]Till you whisper to me once more,
[03:32.480]Darling, I love you!
[03:37.280]And we suddenly know What heaven we're in,
[03:46.640]When they begin the beguine
[03:55.570]When they begin the beguine
[04:05.000]The beguine
