(C)Heav en,

And the cares that hung a round me through the (Bb7)week

seem to (G7)van ish like a gam bler’s luck y (Bb)streak

when we’re (Dm7)out to geth er (G7)danc ing cheek to (C)cheek.

Oh, I (G7)love to climb a (C)moun tain, and to (G7)reach the high est (C)peak, but it (G7)does n’t thrill me (C)half as much as danc ing cheek to (C)cheek.

Oh, I (G7)love to go out (C)fish ing in a (G7)riv er or a (C)creek, but I (G7)don’t en joy it (C)half as much as danc ing cheek to (C)cheek.

Oh, I (C)cheek.

And my (C)heart beats (G7)so that (F#dim7)I can (C)hard ly (Bb7)speak.

And I (G7)seem to find the hap pi ness I (Bb)seek
