Cheek To Cheek
Heavenly Bliss: Dancing Cheek to Cheek with Billie Holiday
Lyrics
Irving berlin
Irving Berlin
Heaven, I'm in heaven
Expressing intense happiness or euphoria
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
Heart pounding with excitement, almost speechless
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
Finding the joy or contentment one has been searching for
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Feeling joyous and fulfilled when dancing intimately together
Heaven, I'm in heaven
Continuing to express immense happiness
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Worries and troubles disappearing, akin to a lucky streak in gambling
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
Similarity drawn between troubles vanishing and luck in gambling
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Reiterating joy experienced while dancing closely together
Oh I love to climb a mountain
Expressing love for climbing mountains as an activity
And to reach the highest peak
Enjoying the challenge of reaching the highest point
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
However, not finding it as thrilling as dancing intimately
As dancing cheek to cheek
Highlighting the unmatched thrill of dancing closely
Oh I love to go out fishing
Expressing fondness for fishing in rivers or creeks
In a river or a creek
Finding enjoyment in this recreational activity
But I don't enjoy it half as much
Yet, not finding it as enjoyable as dancing cheek to cheek
As dancing cheek to cheek
Comparing the enjoyment of fishing to the thrill of dancing closely
Dance with me, I want my arms about you
Requesting a partner to dance intimately
The charm about you
Noting the captivating quality of the partner
Will carry me through
Belief that the partner's charm will sustain happiness
To heaven, I'm in heaven
Reiterating the feeling of immense joy
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
Heart pounding with excitement, almost speechless (repeated)
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
Finding the joy or contentment one has been searching for (repeated)
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Reiterating joy experienced while dancing closely together (repeated)
Oh I love to climb a mountain
Expressing love for climbing mountains as an activity (repeated)
And to reach the highest peak
Enjoying the challenge of reaching the highest point (repeated)
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
Not finding it as thrilling as dancing intimately (repeated)
As dancing cheek to cheek
Highlighting the unmatched thrill of dancing closely (repeated)
Oh I love to go out fishing
Expressing fondness for fishing in rivers or creeks (repeated)
In a river or a creek
Finding enjoyment in this recreational activity (repeated)
But I don't enjoy it half as much
Not finding it as enjoyable as dancing cheek to cheek (repeated)
As dancing cheek to cheek
Comparing the enjoyment of fishing to the thrill of dancing closely (repeated)
Dance with me, I want my arms about you
Requesting a partner to dance intimately (repeated)
The charm about you
Noting the captivating quality of the partner (repeated)
Will carry me through
Belief that the partner's charm will sustain happiness (repeated)
To heaven, I'm in heaven
Reiterating the feeling of immense joy (repeated)
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
Heart pounding with excitement, almost speechless (repeated)
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
Finding the joy or contentment one has been searching for (repeated)
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Reiterating joy experienced while dancing closely together (repeated)
