________________But today the weather's been freakish/ rain galish swished poured whirled puddles of pools rushing up... .... force then ....balmy almost summer winds across a city readying for fall' autumn colours.. changing and so this song and the summer wind have been popping into my head....
and dancing cheek to cheek came singing out....t of my lIps AnyHOW this old Song ... which I like as I love to dance
Anyhow when I got home tonight that is the home im staying in now.... I went down to the store and the grocery lady there whom I like shes Chinese and her name is Mabel and i always tell how good she looks say a little ribbon she might have on or a slight change in her hairdo or some fancier sweater or vest than previous.. well I w as chatting her up and
getting some cigarettes and I said to her so have you danced ...lately and she said O since I been married I don't dance.. . I said O O you have n't danced... we bantered a bit and I said well ya gotta dance... and
as I was going out the door of her neat little store.. I leaned back in for a sec
and she said Keep Dancin....
and I walked on the street rain spatter'd as it was.... and the autumn brush of winds...
and that old song Came to me again...
So I figure .. hey I m gonna go blog it tonight...
and sure enough I found myself singing it as I sauntered home... and so
here it is
and guess what I also realized secretly that I am happy
that I didn't realize
secretly that I am happy ~

Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dance in the 1935 RKO film 'Top Hat', music and lyrics by Irving Berlin.
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
Irving Berlin wrote this deservedly very famous lyric
______________So Im putting up the Fred Astaire version here and these 'grand old scenes' are really something.... aren't they?
and the Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald one here
the imaging isn't anything special
but the sound's what counts
it counts
it digs
it beats
it swings
