A Cdim  A  D9     A   Cdim A  D9        E7 
It only happens when I dance with you 
A    Cdim  A Fdim   A  Cdim  A   D         E7/9   
That trip to Heaven till the dance is through. 
 D6 E7/9-    Fdim Bm5-/7    D9    E7   A   Bm5-/7     A 
With no one else  do the heavens seem quite so near; 
B7          C#m5-/7  F#7   D9   Dm6   E 
Why does it happen, Dear, only with you? 
 A   Cdim  A     D9    A Cdim A  D9        E7 
Two cheeks together can be so divine, 
D6 E7/9-    Fdim  Bm5-/7   D9   E7  Bm5-/7    E7 
But only when those cheeks are yours and mine. 
D9   Bm5-/7      Cdim         E7sus4         Bm5-/7  E7     F#7 
I've danced with dozens of others the whole night through, 
D9         Cdim        Bm5-/7        E7 
But the thrill that comes with Spring,  
A          C#m5-/7         F#7 
When anything can happen, 
D6        E7sus4  E7  Fdim  A 
That only  happens   with   you.
