Lyrics to "It Only Happens When I Dance with You"

Words and by Irving Berlin, 1947
Performed by Fred Astaire and reprised by Judy Garland in the film Easter Parade, 1948
For more details see Judy Movie Songs Page

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.
