Cheek to Cheek
Dancing into Bliss: Unveiling the Meaning of 'Cheek to Cheek'
Lyrics
Heaven, I'm in heaven
Expresses a feeling of immense joy and bliss
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
Heartbeat intensifies due to overwhelming emotions, making it hard to articulate
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
Finding the joy and contentment one has been seeking
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Experiencing happiness when dancing closely together
Heaven, I'm in heaven
Reiteration of the intense joy and elation
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Worries and troubles fade away when together
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
Problems disappear suddenly, akin to a winning streak for a gambler
When we're out together dancing (swinging) cheek to cheek
The happiness continues while dancing closely
Oh I love to climb a mountain
Expressing enjoyment in conquering challenges
And reach the highest peak
Desire to achieve great heights, metaphorically
But it doesn't thrill (boot) me half as much
Metaphor for achieving goals but finding dancing more fulfilling
As dancing cheek to cheek
Preferential joy found in dancing closely
Oh I love to go out fishing
Enjoys other activities like fishing but not as much as dancing
In a river or a creek
Specifically mentions enjoying fishing in various water bodies
But I don't enjoy it half as much
Comparing the enjoyment of fishing to dancing, the latter being more preferred
As dancing cheek to cheek
Reiterating the preference for dancing over other activities
(Come on and) Dance with me
Invitation to dance together
I want my arms about you
Expresses the desire to embrace the partner while dancing
That (Those) charms about you
Admiration for the partner's appealing qualities
Will carry me through
Belief that the partner's charm will uplift and support
(Right up) To heaven, I'm in heaven
Reiteration of being in a state of euphoria
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
Heart palpitations due to overwhelming emotions
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
Continued fulfillment and joy in each other's company while dancing
When we're out together dancing, out together dancing (swinging)
Emphasizing the happiness experienced together while dancing
Out together dancing cheek to cheek
Reiteration of joy when dancing closely together
