[G]
[Bm] [Am]
[G] When they [Em] begin [G] the begin, it brings back the sound [Ab] of music [C] so tender.
[Am]
It brings back a night of tropical splendor.
It brings back a [Gb] memory [D] [Bm] evergreen.
[Em] [Am]
[G] I'm with you once more under the stars, and down by the shore [Ab] an orchestra's [Am] playing.
And even the palms seem to be swaying [C] when they begin [D] the [G] begin.
To [Gm] live it again is past [F] all [Dm] endeavor, [Fm] except when that [D] tune clutches [Eb] my heart.
[G]
I'm swearing to [Bm] love forever
[Eb] and [D] promising never, [C] never [D] to part.
[G] [Em] What moments did [C] bind what [G] rapture serene?
[Em] Till clouds came along to [G] disperse the [C] joys we had tasted.
[Cm] And now when I hear people [A] curse the chance that was wasted,
[C] I know [D] but too well [G] what they mean.
So don't let love begin.
Let the love that was once [Em] a fire [D] ember
Let [Am] it sleep like the dead desire I [D] only [Bm] remember
[E] [C] When they [Bm]
begin the [Em] begin.
[G] Oh yes, laugh
[Em] and [G] make them laugh till the skies that were
[Em] [D] in above you
[C] Still you whisper to me once more, [G] darling I love [Ab]
you
And we [C] suddenly know [Cm] what heaven [Gm] we're in
[C] When they begin [D] [Gm] the [B] begin.
[C] [G]
When they [Am] begin [G] the begin.
[Bm]
[Am] [D]
