The song's daring swings of rhythm and emotion consecutively express three moods of a lover in pursuit - bliss ("Heaven, I'm in heaven"), jauntiness ("Oh, I love to climb a mountain...") and desperate ardor ("Dance with me!") - which Astaire's dance of seduction with Ginger Rogers sublimely dramatizes. It's a miraculous piece of music, and Berlin wrote...
