[ti:Begin The Beguine] [ar:Johnny Mathis] [al:The Essential Johnny Mathis 3.] [offset:0] [00:00.77]Begin the beguine-Johnny Mathis [00:16.37]When they begin, begin the beguine, [00:22.92] [00:23.81]It brings back the sound of music so tender. [00:30.45] [00:31.45]It brings back a night of tropical splendor. [00:38.67] [00:39.42]It brings back a memory evergreen. [00:46.08] [00:47.38]I'm with you once more under the stars, [00:54.60] [00:55.55]And down by the shore an orchestra's playin'. [01:02.21] [01:03.51]And even the palms seem to be swayin' [01:11.31]When they begin the beguine. [01:17.33] [01:18.71]To live it again is past all endeavor, [01:26.53]Except when that tune clutches my heart, [01:34.45]And there we are, swearing to love forever, [01:41.29]And promising never, never to part. [01:49.39] [01:50.04]Patty: [01:50.30]What moments divine, what rapture serene, [01:57.05] [01:57.80]Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted. [02:04.96] [02:05.52]And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted, [02:12.84] [02:13.41]I know but too well what they mean. [02:20.36]All: [02:20.86]So let them begin, begin the beguine. [02:28.21] [02:28.83]Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember. [02:36.79]Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember, [02:44.45] [02:45.32]When they begin the beguine. [02:52.54]Oh, yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play, [03:00.19]Till the stars that were there before return above you. [03:08.04]Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you!" [03:15.81]And we suddenly know what heaven we're in, [03:23.90] [03:24.43]When they begin the beguine. [03:31.39] [03:32.63]When they Begin the beguine.
