Begin The Beguine Lyrics
Begin The Beguine - Ambrose/Anne Shelton
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 here 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
