Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Yes, heaven, I'm in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
Oh I love to climb to mountain
And 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
Now mama dance with me
I want my arms about you
That charm about you
Will carry me through
Yes, 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
Take it Ella swing it
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 hung around me through 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 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
Come on and dance with me
I want my arms about you
That charm about you
Will carry me through
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
Dance with me
I want my arms about you
That charm about you
Will carry me through
To heaven (heaven), I'm in 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
Cheek to cheek
Cheek to cheek
Cheek to cheek
The lyrics to Ella Fitzgerald's song 'Cheek to Cheek' are about the pure joy and happiness that the singer feels when she is dancing with her partner. She describes the feeling as being in heaven, and that her heart is beating so hard that she can hardly speak. All of her worries and concerns disappear when she is dancing cheek to cheek with her partner. The song appears to be a celebration of the simple things in life, and that being close to someone that you love and having a good time is all that really matters.

Oh I love to climb a mountain
I do enjoy climbing mountains
And reach the highest peak
And reaching the highest point feels like an accomplishment
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
However, it doesn't bring me nearly as much excitement
As dancing cheek to cheek
As dancing closely with you
Oh I love to go out fishing
I also enjoy fishing
In a river or a creek
Whether it's in a river or a creek
But I don't enjoy it half as much
However, it still doesn't bring me as much happiness
As dancing cheek to cheek
As dancing in close proximity with you
Come on and dance with me
Please dance with me
I want my arms about you
I want to hold you in my arms
That charm about you

Will carry me through
Being close to you will make me happy and content

And I seem to find the happiness I seek
Being close to you makes me feel happy and fulfilled

Dancing in close proximity with you is what brings me true happiness
Cheek to cheek
Dancing closely with our cheeks touching
Cheek to cheek
Dancing intimately with our faces close together
Cheek to cheek
Dancing closely and intimately with each other

Lyrics:
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 hung around me through 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 arms about you.
The charms about you
Will carry me through 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.
