Begin The Beguine Lyrics
Begin The Beguine - Louis Prima/Keely Smith
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
Down by the shore an orchestra's playing
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
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
So don't let them begin
Please 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
When they begin the beguine
