Cheek

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 hang
around me thro' the week
seem to vanish like
a gambler's lucky streak
when we're out together
dancing, cheek to cheek

To

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

Cheek

dance with me
i want my arm about you
the charm about you
will carry me
thro' 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
when we're out together
dancing, cheek to cheek

Ella Fitzgerald

'Round Midnight

it begins to tell

'round midnight, midnight

i do pretty well, till after sundown

suppertime i'm feelin' sad

but it really gets bad

'round midnight

memories always start 'round midnight

haven't got the heart to stand those memories

when my heart is still with you

and ol' midnight knows it, too

when a quarrel we had needs mending

does it mean that our love is ending

darlin' i need you, lately i find

you're out of my heart

and i'm out of my mind

let our hearts take wings

'round midnight, midnight

let the angels sing

for your returning

till our love is safe and sound

and old midnight comes around

feelin' sadreally gets bad

'round midnight

"'Round Midnight" Ella Fitzgerald
