-5 -5
 Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
-5
 And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak;
  -5 -5
 And I seem to find the hap - pi - ness I seek
  /6
 When we're out to - geth - er dancing, cheek to cheek.
-5 -5
 Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
-5
 And the cares that hang around me through the week
  -5 -5
 Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
  /6
 When we're out to - geth - er 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 through to
-5 -5
 Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
-5
 And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak;
  -5 -5
 And I seem to find the hap - pi - ness I seek
  /6
 When we're out to - geth - er dancing, cheek to cheek.
