Begin The Beguine (Remastered)-Perry Como

[00:00.00] When they begin the beguine, [00:21.84]It brings back the sound of music so tender, [00:28.83]It brings back the night of tropical splendour, [00:36.21]It brings back a memory evergreen! [00:42.39]I'm with you once more under the stars, [00:49.92]And down by the shore an orchestra's playin' [00:54.78]Even the palms seems to be swayin' [01:04.44]When they begin the beguine! [01:11.16]To live it again is past all endeavour, [01:18.06]Except when that tune clutches my heart, [01:24.21]And there we are swearin' to love forever, [01:30.78]And promising never, never to part! [01:39.18]What moments divine, what raptures serene, [01:46.26]'Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted . . . [01:53.37]Now, when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted, [02:00.51]I know but too well what they mean! [02:06.45]So, don't let them begin the beguine, [02:13.95]Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember . . . [02:21.00]Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember, [02:28.62]When they begin the beguine! [02:34.86]Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play! [02:42.27]'Till the stars that were there before return above you, [02:49.44]'Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you!" [02:55.92]And we suddenly know, what heaven we're in, [03:04.08]When they begin the beguine! [03:11.07]When they begin . . . the beguine! [03:16.86]~ from the 1935 Stage musical "Jubilee" [03:19.89]Words and Music by Cole Porter
