199 - Cheek To Cheek
Verse 1
Hea-ven, I’m in hea-ven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the hap-piness I seek—-
When we’re (quick)out to-gether (←)dan-cing cheek to (←)cheek.
Verse 2
Hea-ven, I’m in hea-ven
And the cares that hung a-round me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gam-bler’s lucky streak
When we’re (quick)out to-gether (←)dan-cing cheek to (←)cheek.
Middle 8
Oh I love to climb a mountain and to reach the highest (←)peak
But it does-n’t thrill me half as much as dan-cing 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 dan-cing cheek to (←)cheek.
Bridge
Dance with me
(triplet)I-want-my arm about you
(beat 3)The– charm about you
(beat 3)Will–will carry me through to– (sing vowels ‘oo’)
Verse 1 repeat
Hea-ven, I’m in hea-ven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the hap-piness I seek—-
