Lyrics
It only happens when I dance with you
That trip to Heaven till the dance is through
With no one else do the Heavens seem quite so near
Why does it happen, dear only with you?
Two cheeks together can be so divine
But only when those cheeks are yours and mine
I’ve danced with dozens of others the whole night through
But the thrill that comes with Spring
When anything could happen
That only happens with you
