Begin
Ty and Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
To live it again is past all endeavor
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'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 yes, let them begin the beguine, please make them play
Till the stars that were there before return above you
Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you"
Then we suddenly know what heaven we're in
When they begin the, begin the, begin the beguine
When they begin the, begin the, begin the beguine
When they begin the beguine
The lyrics to Ty and Friends' song Begin are a nostalgic ode to a past love affair. The chorus of the song references the beguine, a slow and rhythmic dance of Afro-Caribbean origin popular during the mid-twentieth century. The melody of the beguine inspires the singer to reminisce about an idyllic time spent with their lover, under the stars and by the shore, with an orchestra playing in the background. The singer describes their memories as "ever green" and the moment as "divine" and "serene." However, the moment was short-lived, and clouds came to disperse their joy. The singer alludes to the fact that the love affair has ended and they are left with only the memories of their relationship.
In the concluding verses of the song, the singer acknowledges the pain associated with lost love and urges their lover not to begin the beguine. Instead, they implore them to let memories of their past love remain as a flicker, forever remembered but never revisited. The final chorus has the singer asking for one more dance, one more night under the stars where they can whisper words of love to each other. In these final moments, they can find the "heaven" they once shared when they first "began the beguine."

The melody holds a special place in my heart and can bring those emotions flooding back
And there we are swearing to love forever
In that wonderful moment, we made promises of eternal love
And promising never, never to part
We vowed to never let anything come between us
What moments divine, what rapture serene
Reflecting on the moment, the experience was out of this world
Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted
Happiness was fleeting as setbacks came our way
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
When others regret missed opportunities to love
I know but too well what they mean
I understand deeply what they're going through
So don't let them begin the beguine
Don't let them ruin the moment by dismissing or undermining its value
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
Let's not forget the passion that once was and keep it as a reminder
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
Let's cherish it as a distant memory but let it rest peacefully
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, please make them play
However, don't let it stop people from creating new and memorable moments by playing the song again
Till the stars that were there before return above you
Let it bring back memories of star-filled nights and the joy that came with them
Till you whisper to me once more, 'Darling, I love you'
Let its beauty remind us of our love
Then we suddenly know what heaven we're in
It reminds us of what true happiness feels like
When they begin the, begin the, begin the beguine
A call to bask in the beauty of the song and make new moments
