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 three now

Don't you agree now

She ought to be in bed

I could have danced all night

You're tired out you must be dead

I could have danced all night

Your face is drawn your eyes are red

And still have begged for more

Now say goodnight turn out the light

Please it's really time for you to be in bed

I could have spread my wings

Do come along do as you're told

And done a thousand things I've never done before

Or Mrs Pierce is apt to stir

You're up too late please it sure is late

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 when he began to dance with me

Put down your book the work'll keep

Now settle down 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 and still have begged for more

I could have spread my wings

And done a thousand things I'd 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
