Cheek to Cheek
Louis & Ella Lyrics

Heaven, I'm in heaven
I am truly happy and elated right now, feeling like I'm in heaven.

And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
I am so overcome with emotion that I can barely put it into words.

And I seem to find the happiness I seek
This moment and activity is bringing me the joy and fulfillment that I've been looking for.

When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Specifically, this feeling of happiness and elation comes from dancing cheek to cheek with you.

And the cares that hung around me through the week
The worries and stresses that have been weighing me down throughout the week are lifted and disappear.

Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
In fact, they disappear so miraculously and completely that it feels like I'm on a lucky winning streak, like a gambling streak.

Oh I love to climb to mountain
While I do indeed enjoy the activity of mountain climbing,

And reach the highest peak
reaching the peak isn't nearly as thrilling or exciting as...

But it doesn't thrill me half as much
what I am doing right now - dancing cheek to cheek with you.

As dancing cheek to cheek
This activity brings me a level of joy and fulfillment that simply can't be matched by other activities, like mountain climbing or fishing.

I love to go out fishing
Similarly, while I do enjoy fishing,

In a river or a creek
catching fish doesn't give me the same level of excitement and happiness as...

But I don't enjoy it half as much
dancing cheek to cheek does.

Now mama dance with me
Mama, I want to dance with you - this is a request for a dance partner.

I want my arms about you
I want to wrap my arms around you while we dance, in a show of affection and love.

That charm about you
You have an aura or quality about you that draws me in and makes me feel even more strongly about being close to you.

Will carry me through
This dancing activity with you is so meaningful and special that it will carry me through any difficulties or struggles in the future.

Take it Ella swing it
This line seems to be a request for Ella to take the lead in the upcoming part of the song, providing a more upbeat and swing-style accompaniment.

Cheek to cheek
The chorus repeats the title of the song, emphasizing how much dancing cheek to cheek means to the singer.
