Dancing On The Ceiling

Writer(s): comden/green/styne





The world is lyrical

Because a miracle

Has brought my lover to me

Though she's some other place, her face i see



At night i creep in bed

And never sleep in bed

But look above in the air

And to my greatest joy, my love is there



She dances overhead

On the ceiling near my bed

In my sight

All through the night



I try to hide in vain

Underneath my counterpane

But there's my love

Up there above



I whisper, "go away, my lover

It's not fair"

But i'm so grateful to discover

That she's still there



I love my ceiling more

Since it is a dancing floor

Just for my love
