Begin the Beguine
Rediscovering Love's Tropical Symphony
Lyrics
When they begin the beguine
Starting the beguine, a dance or romantic encounter
It brings back the sound of music so tender
Evoking memories of gentle and melodious music
It brings back a night of tropical splendor
Recalling a night of splendid tropical experiences
It brings back a memory ever green
Reviving an evergreen and lasting memory
I'm with you once more under the stars
Being together under the stars once again
And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
Listening to an orchestra play by the shore
And even the palms seem to be swaying
Suggesting a magical atmosphere, even nature seems involved
When they begin the beguine
Repeating the impact of beginning the beguine
To live it again is past all endeavor
Reliving the past is an almost impossible task
Except when that tune clutches my heart
The tune grips the heart, triggering intense emotions
And there we are, swearing to love forever
Recalling moments of swearing eternal love
And promising never, never to part
Promising never to part from each other
What moments divine, what rapture serene
Describing sublime and serene moments
Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted
Clouds disrupt the joy experienced
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
Others regretting wasted chances resonate with personal experience
I know but too well what they mean
Understanding the regret of missed opportunities
So don't let them begin the beguine
Advising against rekindling the beguine
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
Suggesting letting past love remain a subdued memory
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
Allowing dormant desires to rest
When they begin the beguine
Reiterating the impact of starting the beguine
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, please make them play
An appeal to initiate the beguine once more
Till the stars that were there before return above you
Desiring the return of past romantic moments
Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you"
Longing to hear the words "Darling, I love you" again
Then we suddenly know what heaven we're in
Realizing the heavenly joy of rekindled love
When they begin the, begin the, begin the beguine
Emphasizing the impact of beginning the beguine
When they begin the, begin the, begin the beguine
Repeating the plea to initiate the beguine
When they begin the beguine
Reaffirming the significance of starting the beguine
