I Could Have Danced All Night

Bed, bed, I couldn't go to bed

My head's too light to try to set it down

Sleep, sleep, I couldn't sleep tonight

Not for all the jewels in the crown

I could have danced all night

I could have danced all night

And still have begged for more

I could have spread my wings

And done a thousand things

I've never done before

I'll never know what made it so exciting

Why all at once my heart took flight

I only know when he

began to dance with me

I could have danced, danced, danced

All night

It's after 3 now

Don't you agree now?

She ought to be in bed

-I could have danced -You're tired out

-All night -You must be dead

-I could have danced -Your face is drawn

-All night -Your eyes are red

-And still have -Now say good night, please

-Begged for more -Turn out the light, please. It's really time for you to be in bed

-I could have spread -Do come along

-My wings -Do as you're told

-And done a thousand things -Or Mrs. Pierce is apt to scold -I've never -You're up too late, miss

-I've never -You're up too late, miss

-Done before -And sure as fate, miss

You'll catch a cold

I'll never know what made it so exciting

Why all at once, my heart took flight

-I only know -Put down your book

-When he -The work will keep

-began to dance -Now settle down

-With me -And go to sleep

I could have danced, danced, danced

-All night -I understand, dear

It's all been grand, dear

But now it's time to sleep

I could have danced all night

I could have danced all night

I could have danced all night And still have begged for more

I could have spread my wings

And done a thousand things

I've never done before

I'll never know what made it so exciting

Why all at once, my heart took flight

I only know when he

began to dance with me

I could have danced, danced, danced

All night!
