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
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 come 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, make them play
Till the stars that were there before return above you
Till you whisper to me once more, Darling, I love you
And we suddenly know what heaven we're in
When they begin the beguine
When they begin the beguine

. . .


You came to me from out of nowhere, you took my heart and found it free,
Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere,
Make every hour as sweet as a flower to me.
If you should go back to your nowhere. leaving me with just a memory,
I'll always wait for your return out of nowhere,
Hoping you bring your love to me.

. . .


It only happens when I dance with you

That trip to Heaven till the dance is through
With no one else do the heavens seem quite so near
Why does it happen, dear, only with you?

Two cheeks together can be so divine
But only when those cheeks are yours and mine
I've danced with dozens of others the whole night through
But the thrill that comes with Spring when anything can happen
That only happens with you

Two cheeks together can be so divine
But only when those cheeks are yours and mine
I've danced with dozens of others the whole night through
But the thrill that comes with Spring when anything can happen
That only happens with you

. . .


Love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me that I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else

You might find the night time the right time for kissing
but night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you, you, you
I intend to be independently blue

I want your love, but I don't want to borrow
To have it today and give back tomorrow
For my love is your love there's no love for nobody else

. . .


I'm in the mood for love simply because you're near me
Funny but when you're near me, I'm in the mood for love.
Heaven was in your eyes, bright as the stars we're under,
Or is it any wonder, I'm in the mood for love.
Why stop to think of whether this little dream might fade,
We'll put our hearts together - now we are one, I'm not afraid.
If there's a cloud above, if it should rain, we'll let it.
But for tonight forget it, I'm in the mood for love

. . .


I've got my love to keep me warm, off with my overcoat, off with my glove,
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love.
My heart's on fire, the flame goes higher, but I can weather the storm,
What do I care how much it may storm, I've got my love to keep me warm.

. . .


The moon was all aglow and heaven was in your eyes
The night that you told me those little white lies.
The stars all seemed to know that you didn't mean all those sighs
The night that you told me those little white lies.
I try but there's no forgetting when evening appears,
I sigh but there's no regretting in spite of my tears.
The devil was in your heart but heaven was in your eyes
The night you told me those little white lies.

. . .


Don't blame me for falling in love with you.
I'm under your spell but how can I help it,
Don't blame me.
Can't you see when you do the things you do,
And I can't conceal the thrill that I'm feeling,
Don't blame me.
I can't help it if that doggone moon above
Makes me need someone like you to love.
Blame your kiss, as sweet as a kiss can be,
And blame all your charms that melt in my arms,
But don't blame me.

. . .


She left twenty-nine broken hearts
Broken in twenty-nine parts
Now there are twenty-nine fellas complainin' to their moms
About the lady from 29 palms

She got twenty-nine Cadillacs
Twenty-nine sables from Sach's
They came from twenty-nine fellas who never had their arms
Around the lady from 29 palms

She's a yip-yip-yippy-eyed dolly
A new kinda gal of the west
And yip-yip-yippy by-golly
Whatever she does, she does her best
She rides twenty-nine trails to bliss
Knows twenty-nine ways how to kiss
She is a gal that you dream of, you'd love to have your arms
Around the lady from 29 palms

She left twenty-nine broken hearts, baby
Broken in twenty-nine parts were their broken hearts, mmm oy-da doy-da
Twenty-nine fellas complainin' to their moms
About the lady from 29 palms

She got twenty-nine cadillacs, baby
Twenty-nine sables from Sach's and them Cadillacs, mmm boy-da doy-da
Twenty-nine fellas who never had their arms
Around the lady from 29 palms

She's a yippety-yippety-yippety-eye-oh, what a dolly
A bronco that no one can break
And yippety-yippety-yippety-eye-oh, by-golly
She's never giving, but how she takes
She's got twenty-nine diamond rings
Got, got, got 'em without any strings (wow!)
A dynamite dream-boat, a load of atom bombs (who? )
The lady from 29 palms
The lady from 29 palms

I can be happy, I can be sad
Can be good or I can be bad
It all depends on you

I can be lonely out in a crowd
I can an be humble or I can be proud
It all depends on you

I can save money or spend it
Go right on livin' or end it
You're to blame, honey, for what I do

I know that I can be beggar or I can be king
I can be almost any old thing
It all depends on you

I can be happy, I can be sad
Can be good or I can be bad
It all depends on you

I can be very lonely out in a crowd
I can an be humble or I can be proud
It all depends on you

I can save money or spend it
Go right on livin' or end it
You're to blame, baby, for what I do

I can be beggar, I can be king
I can be almost any old thing
It all depends on you

I came down from Butte, Montana, for a little change of scene,
And I stopped to stay in Santa Fe, where I met a pretty queen.
Hair of gold, eyes of blue, lips like cherry wine
She's the prettiest gal I ever know and I'm gonna make her mine.
Now I planned to leave on Monday, but she held me kinda tight,
So I stood my ground and hung around, and then I left on Friday night.
Oh, hair of gold, eyes of blue, lips like cherry wine,
The prettiest gal I ever knew and I'm gonna make her mine.

. . .


`s wonderful! `s marvelous! You should care for me.
`s awfully nice! `s paradise! `s what I love to see!
You made my life so glamorous, you can't blame me for feeling amorous.
Oh `s wonderful! `s marvelous, that you should care for me.

. . .


Maybe I'm right and maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm weak and maybe I'm strong
But nevertheless,
I'm in love with you

Maybe I'll win and maybe I'll lose
And maybe I'm in for cryin' the blues
But nevertheless,
I'm in love with you

Somehow I know at a glance, the terrible chances I'm taking
Fine at the start, then left with a heart that is breaking

Maybe I'll live a life of regret,
And maybe I'll give much more than I get
But nevertheless,
I'm in love with you

Maybe I'll live a life of regret,
And maybe I'll give much more than I get
But nevertheless,
I'm in love with you

. . .


Hey don't save your kisses - just pass 'em around
You'll find my reason - is logically sound
Who's gonna know that you past them around
A hundred years from today
And why crave a penthouse - that's fit for a queen
You're nearer heaven - on mamma Earth's green
If you had millions - what would they all me
One hundred years from today
So (Hey) laugh and sing - make love the thing
Be happy while you may
('Cause) There's always one - beneath the sun
Who's bound to make you feel that way
The moon is shining - and that's a (very) good sign
Cling to me closer - say (that) you'll be mine
Remember baby we won't see it shine
A hundred years from today, a hundred years from today

. . .


I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't why, but I do
I don't know why you thrill me like you do
I don't know why, but you do

You never seem to want my romancing
The only time you hold me is when we're dancing

I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why, but I do

You never seem to want my romancing
The only time you hold me is when we're dancing

I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why, but I do

. . .


You have loved lots of girls in the sweet long-ago
And each has meant heaven to you
You have vowed your affection to each one in turn
And have sworn to them all you'd be true
You have kissed 'neath the moon while the world seemed in tune,
Then you've left her to hunt a new game.
Does it ever occur to you later my boy, that she's prob'ly doing the same?

If you want to feel wretched and lonely and blue,
Just imagine the girl you love best
In the arms of some fellow who's stealing a kiss
From the lips that you once fondly pressed
But the world moves apace and the loves of today
Flit away with a smile and a tear,
So you can never tell who's kissing her now
Or just whom you'll be kissing next year.

I wonder who's kissing her now, I wonder who's teaching her how,
I wonder who's looking into her eyes, breathing sighs, telling lies.
I wonder who's buying the wine for lips that I used to call mine.
I wonder if she ever tells him of me, I wonder who's kissing her now.

. . .


I don't want you
But I hate to lose you
You've got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea

I forgive you
'Cause I can't forget you
You've got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea

I ought to cross you off my list
But when you come a-knocking at my door
Fate seems to give my heart a twist
And I come running back for more

I should hate you
But I guess I love you
You've got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea

. . .


[he]
Got the cutest little way,
Like to watch you all the day.
And it certainly seems fine,
Just to think that you'll be mine.
When I see your pretty smile,
Makes the living worth the while.
So I've got to run around,
Telling people what I've found.

[Boy]
And when I told them how beautiful you are,
They didn't believe me. They didn't believe me!
Your lips, your eyes, your cheeks, your hair,
Are in a class beyond compare,
You're the loviest girl that one could see!
And when I tell them,
And I cert'nly am goin' to tell them,
That I'm the man whose wife one day you'll be.
They'll never believe me. They'll never believe me.
That from this great big world you've chosen me!

[she]
Don't know how it happened quite,
May have been the summer night.
May have been, well, who can say.
Things just happen any way,
All I know is I said "yes!"
Hesitating more or less,
And you kissed me where I stood,
Just like any fellow would.

[Girl]
And when I told them how wonderful you are,
They didn't believe me. They didn't believe me!
Your lips, your eyes, your curly hair,
Are in a class beyond compare,
You're the loveliest thing that one could see!
And when I tell them,
And I cert'nly am goin' to tell them,
That I'm the girl whose boy one day you'll be.
They'll never believe me. They'll never believe me.
That from this great big world you've chosen me!

. . .


Evening shadows make me blue when each weary day is through,
How I long to be with you, my happiness.
Everyday I reminisce, dreaming of your tender kiss,
Always thinking how I miss my happiness.
A million years it seems, have gone by since we shared our dreams.
But I'll hold you again, there'll be no blue memories then.
Whether skies are gray or blue, any place on earth will do,
Just as long as I'm with you, my happiness.

. . .


The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly.
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly.
Then you and I came wandering by, and lost in a sigh were we
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly.
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly.
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside,
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly.

. . .


You may not be an angel, `cause angels are so few,
But until the day that one comes along, I'll string along with you.
I'm looking for an angel, to sing my love so to,
And until the day that ones along, I'll string along with you.
For every fault that you have, say, I've got three or four,
The human little faults that you do have, just make me love you more.
You may not be an angel but still I'm sure you'll do,
So until the day that one comes along, I'll string along with you.

. . .


What can I do to prove it to you that I'm sorry?
I didn't mean to ever be mean to you
If I didn't care I wouldn't feel like I do

I was so wrong, right or wrong I don't blame you
Why should I take somebody like you and shame you?

I know that I made you cry and I'm so sorry dear
So what can I say dear after I say I'm sorry?

Baby I'm so, I'm sorry
Got to prove that I'm so sorry

I made you cry and I'm so sorry dear
What can I say dear, what can I do?
What can I say, what can I do
After I say I'm sorry?

. . .


Grab your coat and get your hat, leave your worry at the doorstep
Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear that pitter pat and that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade with those blues on parade
But I'm not afraid 'cause this rover, crossed over

If I never had a cent I'll be as rich as Rockfeller
Gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street

With those blues on parade
Because this rover, it crossed over

If I never had a cent I'll be as loaded as old Rockfeller
With that gold dust 'round my feet
On the sunny side of the street
On the side, at that side of the street that is sunny

. . .


Somebody needs me
I wish that I knew
Who she can be? worries me

Every girls that passes by I shout
Hey maybe! You've meant to be my love and babe
Somebody loves me I wonder who
Maybe it's you

[Chorus]
Won't you belive me
Somebody loves me I wonder who
I wonder who that baby can be
She's a killer, thriller

Somebody wants me I wish that I knew
Who she can be? worries me
every girl that passes by I shout,
Hey maybe, maybe it's you
You're meant to be my ever love and baby
Somebody loves me i just wonder who
Oh baby baby, maybe it's you!
