When they begin the beguine 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 beguine
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
Night and stars above that shine so bright The myst'ry of their fading light That shines upon our caravan
Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep Across the sand so I may keep The mem'ry of our caravan
This is so exciting You are so inviting Resting in my arms As I thrill to the magic charms Of you beside me here beneath the blue My dream of love is coming true Within our desert caravan
I've got you under my skin. I've got you deep in the heart of me. So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me. I've got you under my skin. I'd tried so not to give in. I said to myself, this affair never will go so well. But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know down well I've got you under my skin?
I'd sacrifice anything come what might For the sake of havin' you near In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night And repeats, repeats in my ear, Don't you know, you fool, you never can win? Use your mentality, wake up to reality. But each time that I do just the thought of you Makes me stop before I begin Cause I've got you under my skin.
I would sacrifice anything come what might For the sake of havin' you near In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night And repeats, how it yells in my ear, Don't you know, you fool, ain't no chance to win Why not use your mentality, get up, wake up to reality? And each time I do just the thought of you Makes me stop just before I begin Cause I've got you under my skin. And I like you under my skin.
