De-Lovely movie - Begin The Beguine lyrics

Song by Sheryl Crow<br /><br>

When they begin the beguine<br>

It brings back the sound of music so tender,<br>

It brings back a night of tropical splendor,<br>

It brings back a memory ever green.<br>

I'm with you once more under the stars,<br>

And down by the shore an orchestra's playing<br>

And even the palms seem to be swaying<br>

When they begin the beguine.<br>

To live it again is past all endeavor,<br>

Except when that tune clutches my heart,<br>

And there we are, swearing to love forever,<br>

And promising never, never to part.<br>

What moments divine, what rapture serene,<br>

Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted,<br>

And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted,<br>

I know but too well what they mean;<br>

So don't let them begin the beguine<br>

Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember;<br>

Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember<br>

When they begin the beguine.<br>

Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play<br>

Till the stars that were there before return above you,<br>

Till you whisper to me once more,<br>

Darling, I love you!<br>

And we suddenly know What heaven we're in,<br>

When they begin the beguine<br>

<br>
