Cole Porter

Begin the Beguin
When they begin the Beguine, - Itbrings back the sound of music so tender. -Itbrings back a night of tropical splendour. - Itbrings back a memory ever green. - I'mwith you once more under the stars. - Anddown by the shore an orchestra's playing. - And-even the palms seem to be swayingWhen they begin the Beguine. - Tolive it again is past all endeavour, Ex-cept when that tune clutches my heart. - Andthere we are swearing to love forever. - And promisingnever, never to part. -Whatmoments divine, what rapture esrene. - Tillclouds came along to disperse the joys wehad tasted. - Andnow when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted. - Iknow but too well what they mean. - So don'tlet them begin the Beguine. - Let thelove that was once a fire remain an ember. - Let itsleep like the dead desire I only rememberWhen they begin the Beguine. - Oh yeslet them begin the Beguine, make them play - Till thestars that were there before return above you - Till youwhisper to me once more "Darling I love you" - And wesuddenly kno what heaven we're inWhen they begin the Beguine.When they begin the Beguine Aus Songtexte Mania
