Begin The Beguine - Frank Sinatra. Seq - R. Reublin. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones.

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 evergreen

I'm with you once more under the stars
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 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

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

When they begin, the Beguine
