Lyrics

(C)Heav en,

I’m in (C)heav en.

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

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

Heav en,

I’m in (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.

(Cm)Dance with me,

I want my (Ab7)arm a bout you.

The (Fdim7)charm a bout you will (Am)car ry (Am7)me (D7)through (G7)to (C)heav en,

I’m in (C)heav en.

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

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

About “Cheek To Cheek”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Cheek To Cheek"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature C. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Cheek To Cheek" by Irving Berlin played in?
Cheek To Cheek is arranged in the key of C on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Cheek To Cheek"?
The arrangement plays at 160 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Cheek To Cheek" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature C, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 160 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
