Begin to Beguine

Begin the Beguine (Remaster) - Perry Como

When they begin the beguine

It brings back the sound of music so tender

It brings back the night of tropical splendour

It brings back a memory evergreen

I'm with you once more under the stars

And down by the shore an orchestra's playin'

Even the palms seem to be swayin'

When they begin the beguine

To live it again is past all endeavour

Except when that tune clutches my heart

And there we are swearin' to love forever

And promising never never to part

What moments divine what raptures serene

'Til 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 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

'Til the stars that were there before return above you

'Til 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
