Part 1:

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.

 

Part 2:

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 thru' to;

 

Partial Part 1 :

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.
