[00:00.00]Begin the Beguine - Sammy Davis Jr.
[00:07.46]When they begin the beguine
[00:11.07]
[00:13.47]It brings back the sound of music so tender
[00:19.24]
[00:20.23]It brings back a night of tropical splendor
[00:26.03]
[00:26.87]It brings back a memory ever green
[00:31.17]
[00:33.42]I'm with you once more under the stars
[00:38.30]
[00:40.04]And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
[00:44.84]
[00:48.11]And even the palms seem to be swaying
[00:52.06]
[00:54.11]When they begin the beguine
[00:57.55]
[01:00.02]To live it again is past all endeavor
[01:04.71]
[01:06.77]Except when that tune clutches my heart
[01:11.84]
[01:13.18]And here we are swearing to love forever
[01:17.74]
[01:19.13]And promising never never never to part
[01:24.65]
[01:26.16]What moments divine what rapture serene
[01:31.79]
[01:33.95]Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted
[01:38.72]
[01:39.94]And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
[01:45.43]
[01:47.11]Then I know but too well just what they mean
[01:51.35]
[01:53.39]So don't let them begin the beguine
[01:58.53]
[02:00.69]Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
[02:05.65]
[02:07.75]Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
[02:13.09]
[02:15.21]When they begin the beguine
[02:18.60]
[02:20.72]Oh yes let them begin the beguine make them play
[02:26.27]
[02:27.84]Till the stars that were there before return above you
[02:33.68]
[02:34.63]Till you whisper to me once more
[02:37.40]My darling I love you
[02:40.24]
[02:41.36]And we suddenly know just what heaven we're in
[02:47.30]
[02:49.01]When they begin the beguine
[02:53.62]
[02:59.09]When they begin the beguine
