Begin the Beguine
Captivating Memories: Reliving Love Under Tropical Stars
Lyrics
When they begin the beguine
Initiation of the beguine, a dance or a romantic encounter
It brings back the sound of music so tender
Evoke memories of gentle music
It brings back a night of tropical splendor
Recall a night of tropical beauty
It brings back a memory ever green
Stirring up an evergreen memory
I'm with you once more under the stars
Reunion under the stars
And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
Orchestra playing by the shore
And even the palms seem to be swaying
Palms appear to sway in response to the music
When they begin the beguine
The impact of beginning the beguine
To live it again is past all endeavor
Reliving the past is challenging
Except when that tune clutches my heart
The emotional impact of the tune on the heart
And there we are, swearing to love forever
Committing to everlasting love
And promising never, never to part
Promising never to part
What moments divine, what rapture serene
Describing sublime moments and serene joy
Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted
Interruption by life's challenges and disappointments
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
People regretting missed opportunities
I know but too well what they mean
Understanding the regret expressed by others
So don't let them begin the beguine
Cautioning against starting the beguine again
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
Advising to let the past love remain a memory
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
Suggesting to let the desire rest in the past
When they begin the beguine
The impact of starting the beguine again
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, please make them play
Requesting to initiate the beguine
Till the stars that were there before return above you
Desiring the return of past happiness
Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you"
Yearning to hear words of love once more
Then we suddenly know what heaven we're in
Realizing the joy of being in love again
When they begin the, begin the, begin the beguine
Anticipation and excitement as the beguine begins
When they begin the, begin the, begin the beguine
Repetition of the anticipation as the beguine starts
When they begin the beguine
The impact of beginning the beguine once again
