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
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
When they begin
the beguine
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
When they begin
the beguine
When they begin
the beguine
