Begin the Beguine Lyrics

When they begin the beguine
It brings back the sounds of music so tender
It brings back a night of tropical splendor
It brings back the memory every dream
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 ende avor
Except when that tune clutches my heart

And there we are, swearing to love forever
And promising never, never to part

What moment's 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
Oh...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 once more "darling my love you"

And they suddenly know what heaven we're in
Yes...when they begin
The beguine
When they begin
The beguine

When they begin
The beguine

Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
Let it sleep like the dead desire i only remember
Remain an ember... the memory... every dream

When they begin
Begin the beguine

Let the love that was once fires remain an ember...
