Begin the Beguine
The Frank & Joe Show Lyrics

When they begin the beguine
The start of the beguine reminds me of an incredible night filled with gentle music and tropical beauty.

It brings back the sound of music so tender
The sweet melody of the beguine stirs up memories of enchanting and delicate tunes.

It brings back a night of tropical splendor
The beguine ignites recollections of a romantic and gorgeous night in a tropical paradise.

It brings back a memory ever green
The beguine awakens memories that are forever vivid and green.

I'm with you once more under the stars
When I hear the beguine, I am transported back to a time when I was with you under the stars.

And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
I recall an orchestra playing near the shore when the beguine was last played.

And even the palms seem to be swaying
The beguine has the power to make me imagine the palms seeming to be swaying to the music.

To live it again is past all endeavor
It would be impossible to relive that night again.

Except when that tune clutches my heart
However, when I hear the beguine, its melody catches my heart and takes me back to that night.

And there we are, swearing to love forever
I am reminded of us promising each other everlasting love.

And promising never, never to part
We made a vow to never part from each other.

What moments divine, what rapture serene
That night was filled with the most exquisite and peaceful moments.

Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted
Unfortunately, our happiness was interrupted by the arrival of clouds.

And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
Hearing people regret lost opportunities reminds me of this one.

I know but too well what they mean
I completely understand their feeling of loss and missed chances.

So don't let them begin the beguine
I plead with others not to play the beguine so that I can move on.

Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
I ask that the love that has faded not be reignited but remain a small light inside me.

Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
I only want to remember the love that has passed away, like a buried desire.

Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, please make them play
On the other hand, sometimes I want the beguine to play again.

Till the stars that were there before return above you
I want the stars from that romantic night to appear once more.

Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you"
And I want to hear you say to me again, "Darling, I love you".

Then we suddenly know what heaven we're in
In that moment, we will realize that we are in heaven.

When they begin the, begin the, begin the beguine
When the beguine starts playing, I am transported back to that magical night.

When they begin the beguine
The start of the beguine compels me to relive that unforgettable night.
