Begin the Beguine by The Flamingos Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
When they begin the beguine
It brings back the sound of music so tender
It brings back a night of tropical splendour
It brings back a memory evergreen

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
To live it again is past all endeavour
Except when that tune clutches my heart
And there we are swearing to love forever
And promising never, never to part

[Verse 3]
What moments divine, what rapturous [?]
'Til clouds come along to disperse the joy we had tasted
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
I know but too well what they mean
[Verse 4]
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine
Let them play
'Til the stars that were there before return above you
'Til you whisper to me once more darling I love you

[Outro]
And we suddenly know
(And we suddenly know)
What heaven we're in
(What heaven we're in)
When they begin the beguine
