Cheek to Cheek
Dancing on Cloud Nine: Unveiling the Blissful Tale of 'Cheek to Cheek'
Lyrics
Heaven, I'm in heaven
Expressing extreme joy and happiness, feeling heavenly.
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
Heart pounding with joy, making it difficult to articulate.
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
Finding the joy and contentment one seeks.
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Experiencing happiness when dancing intimately with a partner.
Heaven, I'm in heaven
Reiteration of the overwhelming happiness and bliss.
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Problems and worries disappearing while dancing.
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
Similar to the previous line, likening it to a lucky streak.
When we're out together dancing (swinging) cheek to cheek
Reiterating the joy of dancing closely together.
Oh I love to climb a mountain
Expressing love for challenges, metaphorically climbing a mountain.
And reach the highest peak
Finding dancing cheek to cheek more thrilling than conquering peaks.
But it doesn't thrill (boot) me half as much
Comparing the thrill of dancing favorably to other exciting activities.
As dancing cheek to cheek
Reaffirming the unparalleled joy of dancing cheek to cheek.
Oh I love to go out fishing
Expressing enjoyment in outdoor activities like fishing.
In a river or a creek
Stating that dancing is more enjoyable than fishing.
But I don't enjoy it half as much
Emphasizing the preference for dancing over other leisure activities.
As dancing cheek to cheek
Repetition of the joy found in dancing cheek to cheek.
(Come on and) Dance with me
Invitation to dance, emphasizing a desire for closeness.
I want my arm(s) about you
Desire to have the partner's arms around, expressing intimacy.
That (Those) charm(s) about you
Highlighting the charming qualities of the partner.
Will carry me through
Belief that the partner's charm will sustain and support.
(Right up) To heaven, I'm in heaven
Reiteration of the heavenly joy experienced while dancing.
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
Restating the physical and emotional impact of the joy.
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
Reemphasizing the discovery of sought-after happiness.
When we're out together dancing, out together dancing (swinging)
Reiteration of the joy of dancing together, with a slight variation.
Out together dancing cheek to cheek
Concluding with the image of dancing cheek to cheek.
