Begin the Beguine Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Sunnyhill

A famous song, but I had never looked at the lyrics before - they are beautiful! It seems to be along the lines of 'As Time Goes By' in Casablanca, where the guy doesn't want to hear the song again because it reminds him of the pain of a lost love but is torn as he then wants to hear it again to rekindle the love ..... perhaps in his dreams.

Interesting Wiki page on the history of the song and its unusual construction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begin_the_Beguine
