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.
Of all the people who have sung this song, it still remains Judy's special melody. If your not a movie trivia or movie maniac you probably have no idea where this comes from. Before Easter Parade began filming, Judy and Irving had some publicity photos, and also shared a dance or two. She made a comment that maybe this would inspire one of the new songs for the picture. Later on Irving came over as he was leaving and sliped her a piece of paper. He said, don't show this to anyone, yet. On that paper he had written the words "it only happens when I dance with you." She later said that she had always concitered this her own special melody. In the begining she was not even going ot sing the song in the picture, but things happened and luckily, she did. Right after she sings the song in the picture, Fred Astaire says to her "Why didn't you tell me I was in love with you?" The line she had heard once before in For Me and My Gal, from Gene Kelly, who was also schedules to play Don Hughs in Easter Parade, until he broke his leg in rehersals. Now you knok, how much there is behind this song. If you wish to learn more about Easter Parade, or this song, It was just released on special edition dvd, right in time for Easter.
"I've tried to please, I hope I did."
