Cheek to Cheek

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 hung 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
