Dear Heaven Maker:
I’ve always loved Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
I loved the discipline that Fred brought to dancing and performing.
And I loved what Ginger did, because as Bob Thaves said, “Sure he was great, but don’t forget that Ginger Rogers did everything he did, …backwards and in high heels.”
Pair the two of them together and then add a fabulous melody and lyrics by Irving Berlin….and we have some Heaven on Earth.
Enjoy.

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 gamblers 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 arm 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
That happiness I seek
When we’re out together
Swinging cheek to cheek
Come on and dance with me
I want my arm about you
That charm about you
Will carry me through
Right up to
Heaven, I’m in heaven
And my heart beats
So that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find
That happiness I seek
When we’re out
Together dancing
Out together dancing
Out together dancing
Cheek to cheek.
