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 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 arms about you...
The 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 dancing cheek to cheek.

Fred Astaire born Fred Austerlitz
(10 May, 1899 - 22 June, 1987)


A most wonderful American film actor
and Broadway ballroom dancer.
He is particularly associated with Ginger Rogers,
with whom he made many films.



'Astaire' was a name taken by him at 5 years old.
It is said to have come from an uncle 'L'Astaire'.
Famously, a studio screen test report on Fred read :
"Can't sing. Can't act. Slightly balding. Dances a little."



In the opinion of millions of fans of his popular films,
Astaire could actually dance quite splendidly.
Fred died in 1987 from pneumonia, interred at the
California Oakwood Memorial Park Cemetery.



Ginger Rogers born Virginia Katherine McMath
(July 16, 1911 - April 25, 1995)


An American actress and ballroom dancer.
She is most remembered as Fred Astaire's
romantic interest and dancing partner,
In all-singing all-dancing Hollywood musicals.




Her acting career spanned over thirty years.
Her first roles were in a trio of short films made in 1929.
In 1940 Ginger won the Academy Award for
Best Actress, for her starring role in 'Kitty Foyle'.



Fred and Ginger made many popular films together,
Top Hat, Swingtime, Shall We Dance and many more.
Ginger died in 1995 of heart failure and was interred at the
same Oakwood Memorial Park in California as Fred.


'Perhaps They Still Dance On Together'
