Intro:
(X2)
When they be-gin
the be-guine,
it brings back the sound
of music so tender
It brings back a night
of tropical splendor, it brings back a memory
ever green
I'm with you once more
under the stars,
and down by the shore
an orchestra's playing
And even the palms
seem to be swaying,
when they begin
the be-guine
To live it again
is past all en-deavor,
ex-cept when that tune
clutches my heart
And there we are, swearing to love for-ever,
and promising never,
never to part
What moments di-vine,
what rapture se-rene
Till clouds came along to dis-perse the joys we had tasted
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
I know but too well
what they mean
