vanish like a lucky streak

Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire


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 hang 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.
