Heaven (Esta mañana me he levantado...)

Hace tiempo que voy detrás de esta canción. Escuchándola, hubiera jurado que el título sería "Heaven". Es la estupenda canción que sale en "La milla verde", original de la también mítica película "Top Hat", en la que Fred Astaire le canta a Ginger Rogers sobre la música, el cine y la vida.

Pero no, no se llamaba "Heaven". Precisamente hoy, la radio me ha contado su historia: Cheek To Cheek (mejilla contra mejilla), de Irving Berlin. He encontrado una bonita versión de Louis Armstrong y Ella Fitzgerald en goear, así que sólo me queda dedicarla :)

Cheek To 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 hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing (swinging) cheek to cheek
Oh I love to climb a mountain
And reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill (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
(Come on and) Dance with me
I want my arm(s) about you
That (Those) charm(s) 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 the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing, out together dancing (swinging)
Out together dancing cheek to cheek
