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?
In your Easter bonnet
With all the frills upon it
You’ll be the grandest lady
In the Easter parade

The Irving Berlin numbers (each one connected to a different holiday) are winners. Crosby’s warm performance of “White Christmas” is a movie touchstone. –Tom Keogh
