Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song Begin the Beguine , by - Charlie Parker. Song language: English
Begin the Beguine |
| 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 |
| The 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 |
| O 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 |
