Begin the Beguine-Ella Fitzgerald

[00:09.25]When they begin the beguine [00:15.61]It brings back the sound of music so tender, [00:23.41]It brings back a night of tropical splendor, [00:31.17]It brings back a memory ever green. [00:38.93]Im with you once more under the stars, [00:46.63]And down by the shore an orchestras playing [00:51.88] [00:54.50]And even the palms seem to be swaying [01:02.79]When they begin the beguine. [01:07.11] [01:09.81]To live it again is past all endeavor, [01:17.89]Except when that tune clutches my heart, [01:22.94] [01:25.06]And there we are, swearing to love forever, [01:30.31] [01:31.74]And promising never, never to part. [01:38.23] [01:40.48]What moments divine, what rapture serene, [01:46.19] [01:47.93]Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted, [01:53.52] [01:55.53]And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted, [02:00.96] [02:02.89]I know but too well what they mean; [02:08.21] [02:09.96]So dont let them begin the beguine [02:15.70] [02:17.57]Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember; [02:23.02] [02:25.33]Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember [02:30.21] [02:33.47]When they begin the beguine. [02:37.53] [02:39.96]Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play [02:47.57]Till the stars that were there before return above you, [02:55.00]Till you whisper to me once more, [02:58.76]Darling, I love you! [03:02.95]And we suddenly know what heaven were in, [03:10.97]When they begin the beguine
