Cheek to Cheek

Fred Astaire

(Irving Berlin)



Heaven, I'm in Heaven,

And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak;

And I seem to find the happiness I seek

When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.



Heaven, I'm in Heaven,

And the cares that hang around me thro' the week

Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak

When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.



Oh! I love to climb a mountain,

And to reach the highest peak,

But it doesn't thrill me half as much

As dancing cheek to cheek.



Oh! I love to go out fishing

In a river or a creek,

But I don't enjoy it half as much

As dancing cheek to cheek.



Dance with me

I want my arm about you;

The charm about you

Will carry me thro' to Heaven



I'm in Heaven,

and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak;

And I seem to find the happiness I seek

When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek.
