Johnny Mathis - Begin The Beguine lyrics

rate me

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 />

<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 />

<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 />

<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 />

<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 />

<br />

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, darling, I love you<br />

And we suddenly know what heaven we're in when they begin<br />

<br />

When they begin the beguine<br />

When they begin the beguine<br />

When they begin the beguine
