Dancing On The Ceiling

Frank Sinatra


Tom: D

D             D7     F#m       Fdim 
The world is lyrical, because a miracle  
Em              A7       D 
Has brought my lover to me; 
Dm                       Fm    Em7  Fdim  A7   D 
Though she's some other place, her face I see. 
    D      D7           Fdim 
At night I creep in bed,    and never sleep in bed, 
Em7  A7       G/B A7   D 
But look above in the air,  
Dm                 Fm  Em7 Fdim A7   D 
And to my greatest joy, my love is there. 

 D   Em7  F#m7 Bm7 Bm7/E  D5+  Em      E7     A       Fdim   
She dances  overhead on the ceiling near my bed, 
A7  A  D     Em7  A              D 
In my sight, all    through the night; 
D Em7 F#m7 Bm7 Bm7/E  D5+  Em    E7       A    Fdim 
I try  to hide  in    vain underneath my counterpane, 
    Em7     A7  D   Edim  A7    D     D7 
But there's my love  up there above. 
Em          Em7          A7    D          D6 
I whisper, "Go away, my lover, it's not fair," 
Em          Em7           A7      D   Cdim         Em7  A7 
But I'm so grateful to discover, that she's still there. 
D  Em7 F#m7 Bm7 Bm7/E  D5+   Em      E7     A      Fdim 
I love  my ceil -ing  more, since it is a dancing floor,  
Em7      A7   D 
Just for my love.
