I Could Have Danced All Night

I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night and still have begged for more
(Do come along, do as you're told)

Not for all the jewels in the crown
I only know when he began to dance with me
She ought to be in bed
I only know when he began to dance with me
(Miss, you'll catch a cold)

Sleep, sleep, I couldn't sleep tonight
Why all at once my heart took flight
I'll never know what made it so exciting
And still have begged for more
(Your face is drawn, your eyes are red)
I'll never know what made it so exciting

I've never done before
Why all at once my heart took flight
I could have danced, danced, danced all night

It's all been grand, dear
I could have danced, danced, danced all night

(Or Mrs. Pierce is apt to stir)
(Now say goodnight, turn out the light)
I could have danced all night
I could have spread my wings
I'll never know what made it so exciting
(You're up too late, please, it sure is late)
(Put down your book, the work'll keep)
Why all at once my heart took flight
I could have spread my wings

And still have begged for more

I could have danced all night
And done a thousand things, I've never done before
I could have spread my wings
I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night
It's after three now
(Now settle down and go to sleep)

Don't you agree now?
(You're tired out, you must be dead)
I only know when he began to dance with me
(Please, it's really time for you to be in bed)
I understand, dear
And done a thousand things
But now it's time to sleep
And done a thousand things, I'd never done before
