Cheek to Cheek
Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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'd love to climb a mountain
And reach the highest peak (me too)
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek

And I'd 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 (heaven), yes 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
Go!

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
Oh babe, when we're out together dancing




(Out together dancing)
Out together dancing cheek to cheek

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga's song, Cheek to Cheek, are about the overwhelming feeling of happiness and joy that comes when dancing cheek to cheek with a lover. The first verse paints the picture of being completely in love and almost speechless when with the partner. Dancing together brings complete happiness, and all other worries and concerns fade away. The second verse speaks of how even the most exhilarating experiences, like climbing a mountain or fishing, do not compare to dancing with the lover. Through dancing, the happiness found is more profound than any other physical activity.


The chorus repeats the feeling of being in heaven and being with someone that brings complete and utter joy. The request to dance with the lover and hold them close shows the longing and passion for the partner that is present in the song. The song speaks of a deep and intense love that is only possible with the perfect partner. The song also speaks to the idea that when a couple is dancing cheek to cheek, nothing else in the world is relevant or important, other than the love shared between the two individuals.

음악은 추억이 아닐까요
누군가에 신청곡으로 첨 듣는 음악을 듣게 되고
어디선가 그음악을 또 듣게 되면
아! 골방에서 들었던 그노래

이런 추억을 다른이에게도 만들어주셨내요

누군가 듣고싶어 신청해주신 이노래를
만들어주신 작사,작곡, 편곡자분들과 불러주신 가수분에게
정말 감사합니다.


제댓글이 많아 불편하셨다면 정말 죄송합니다.

하지만 제 댓글이 많다는건

그시간에 신청해주신 분이 이댓글을 보신다면
행복해 하실꺼라는걸 알거든요

그래서 신청곡이 들어올때마다 댓글을 남겨드리고 있어요
