I Could Have Danced All Night lyrics


Bed? Bed -- I couldn t go to bed
My head s too light to try to settle 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 d never done before
I ll never know what made it so exciting
When 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
Bubba: It s after three now
don t you agree now
she ought to be in bed
Lauren: I could ve danced...
B: Your time is up
L: all night...
B: You must be dead
L: I could have danced...
B: Your face is drawn
L: all night...
B: Your eyes are red
L: And still...
B: Now say goodnight
L: have begged...
B: please, turn out the light
L: for more.
B: please, it s really time for you to be in bed
L: I could have spread...
B: Just come along
L: my wings...
B: do as you re told
L: and done a thousand...
B: or Mr. Finch
L: things
B: is apt to scold
L: I d nev-
B: you re up too late
L: -er done...
B: Please, I m sure it s late
L: before.
B: please, or as sure as Fate you ll catch a cold
L: I ll never know what made it so exciting
When all at once my heart took flight
I only know
B: put down that book
L: when he...
B: the book can keep
L: began to dance...
B: now settle down
L: with me...
B: and go to sleep
L: I could have...
L & B: ...danced, danced, danced...all night.
