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 a memory evergreen

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…
