Begin The Beguine:Big John Khat And The Highland Blues Band. Live (with permission) Metz, France, in 1962. (Beguine was a dance popular during the 1930's and '40's.) (x2) #1. When they begin the Beguine....it brings back the sound of music so tender. It brings back a night of tropical splendor.. E7sus it brings back a memory....evergreen. #2. I'm with you once more, under the stars. And down by the shore, an orchestra's play..ing. And even the palms seem to be swaying.. E7sus when they begin the Beguine. BRIDGE: To live it again is past all endeav.or..except when C7sus that tune clutches my heart. And there we are swearing to love forever, and promising E7sus never, never to part. #3. What moments divine, what rapture serene.. til clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted. And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted. E7sus I know but too well, what they mean. #4. So, don't let them begin the Beguine, let them play. Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember. Let it sleep like a dead desire, I only remember.. when they begin the Beguine. #5. Oh, yes, let them begin the Beguine, make them play.. til the stars that were there before return above you. Til you whisper to me once more, darling, I love you. E7sus E7sus And we suddenly know what heaven we're in......when they begin the Beguine. When they begin the Beguine..when they begin the Beguine. A thirties smash from Kraziekhat.
