Fitzgerald Ella Begin The Beguine Lyrics

Begin The Beguine Lyrics

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 there 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
