The Elder Songtext
von Sant Andreu Jazz Band

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 love to climb a mountain
And reach the highest peak
But it doesn′t boot 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 the 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
It 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 the happiness I seek
When we′re out together dancing, out together dancing
Out together dancing cheek to cheek
