Karaoke Track: Begin The Beguine by Cole Porter (Toshiba)

When they begin

the beguine

It brings back the sound

of music so tender

It brings back a night

of tropical splendour

It brings back a memory

ever green

I

And down by the shore

an orchestra

And even the palms

seem to be swaying

W hen they begin

the beguine

To live it again

is past all endeavour

Except when that tune

Clutches my heart

And there we are,

swearing to love forever

And promising never

never to part

What moments divine

what rapture serene

Till clouds came along

to disperse

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

So don

Let the love that was once

a fire remain an ember

Let it sleep like the dead

desire I only remember

W hen they begin

the beguine

Oh yes let them

begin the beguine,

make them play

Till the stars

that were there before

return above you

Till you whisper to me

once more

Darling, I love you

And we suddenly know

what heaven we

W hen they begin

the beguine
