Lyrics
Heaven, I'm in heaven
Expressing a state of bliss or euphoria, feeling heavenly.
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
Heart beating rapidly, indicating intense emotion or excitement.
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
Finding the joy or contentment one is searching for.
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Experiencing happiness while dancing closely with a partner.
Heaven, I'm in heaven
Reiteration of the euphoric state in heaven.
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Cares or worries disappearing when in the company of a loved one.
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
Similar to the previous line, using a metaphor of a gambler's lucky streak.
When we're out together dancing (swinging) cheek to cheek
Reiteration of the joy experienced while dancing cheek to cheek.
Oh I love to climb a mountain
Expressing a love for challenges and achievements, like climbing a mountain.
And reach the highest peak
Desire to reach the pinnacle of happiness or success.
But it doesn't thrill (boot) me half as much
Dancing cheek to cheek surpasses the thrill of climbing mountains.
As dancing cheek to cheek
Reiteration of the unparalleled joy found in dancing closely with a partner.
Oh I love to go out fishing
Expressing enjoyment of fishing, but it doesn't compare to dancing cheek to cheek.
In a river or a creek
Preference for dancing over the pleasure of fishing.
But I don't enjoy it half as much
Reiteration of the unique joy found in dancing closely with a partner.
As dancing cheek to cheek
Emphasizing the unmatched delight of dancing cheek to cheek.
(Come on and) Dance with me
Invitation to dance together, reinforcing the desire for closeness.
I want my arm(s) about you
Expressing the desire to have arms around the partner while dancing.
That (Those) charm(s) about you
Highlighting the charms of the partner that add to the joy of dancing.
Will carry me through
Belief that the partner's charms will provide support and happiness.
(Right up) To heaven, I'm in heaven
Reiteration of the heavenly state while dancing closely with a partner.
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
Heart still beating rapidly, emphasizing the intensity of emotion.
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
Finding continued happiness when dancing together.
When we're out together dancing, out together dancing (swinging)
Reiteration of the joy experienced while dancing cheek to cheek.
Out together dancing cheek to cheek
Final emphasis on the pleasure of dancing closely with a partner.
