Testo Begin the Beguine

Begin the Beguine

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 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,

Never to part



What moments divine,

What rapture serene

Till clouds came along

To disperse the joys we had 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



Oh yes,

Let them Begin

The Beguine,

Make them play till the stars

That were there before

Return above you

Till you whisper to me once more

Darling, I love you!

And we suddenly know

What heaven we?re in

When they Begin

The Beguine
