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 beguine
To live it again
Is past all endeavor
Except when that tune
Touches my heart
And darling, there we are
Swearing to love forever
And promising never
Never to part
What moments divine, what rapture serene
Two 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’t let them begin the beguine
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
When they begin the beguine
Oh no, let them begin the beguine
Make them play
’Til the stars that were there before return above you
Until you whisper to me once more, “Darling, I love you”
And we suddenly know
What heaven we’re in
When they begin the beguine
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine
Make them play
Until the stars that were there before return above you
Until you whisper to me once more, “Darling, I love you”
And we suddenly know
What heaven we’re in
When they begin the beguine
And we suddenly know
What heaven we’re in
When they begin the beguine
