Begin The Beguine-Artie Shaw/Roy Deuvall

[ti:Begin The Beguine] [ar:Porter] [al:All I Do Is Dream Of You] [offset:0] [00:00.43]When they begin, the beguine, [00:07.47]It brings back the sound of music so tender. [00:13.69] [00:14.55]It brings back a night of tropical splendor. [00:21.38] [00:22.12]It brings back a memory evergreen. [00:28.54] [00:29.38]I'm with you once more, [00:32.31]Under the stars. [00:35.74] [00:36.74]And down by the shore an orchestra's playin'. [00:42.56] [00:44.05]And even the palms seem to be swayin' [00:50.45] [00:51.73]When they begin the beguine. [00:58.69]To live it again is past all endeavor, [01:05.17] [01:06.11]Except when that tune clutches my heart, [01:13.27]And there we are, swearing to love forever, [01:20.08]And promising never, never to part. [01:28.04]Patty: [01:28.29]What moments divine, what rapture serene, [01:32.96] [01:35.45]Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted. [01:42.34] [01:42.91]And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted, [01:48.61] [01:50.34]I know too well what they mean. [01:56.16]All: [01:57.04]So let them begin the beguine. [02:04.05] [02:05.06]Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember. [02:12.47]Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember, [02:20.85]When they begin the beguine. [02:26.99]Oh, yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play, [02:34.79]Till the stars that were there before return above you. [02:45.10] [02:45.87]Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you!" [02:53.31]And we suddenly know what heaven we're in, [03:01.07]When they begin the beguine. [03:07.93] [03:08.54]When they begin the beguine. [03:16.81]
