Karaoké Begin the Beguine Johnny Mathis

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 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 and is past all endeavour

Except when that tune clutches my heart

And there we are swearing to love forever

And promising never ever to part

What moments divine

What rapture serene

'Till 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

Oh 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

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh
