I Could Have Danced All Night

(Now settle down and go to sleep)
(You're up too late, please, it sure is late)
And done a thousand things, I'd never done before
I only know when he began to dance with me
She ought to be in bed
And still have begged for more
I could have danced, danced, danced all night
I could have danced all night
Not for all the jewels in the crown

I'll never know what made it so exciting

I could have danced, danced, danced all night
I could have danced all night
I've never done before
I only know when he began to dance with me
And done a thousand things, I've never done before

But now it's time to sleep
I could have spread my wings
(You're tired out, you must be dead)
(Your face is drawn, your eyes are red)
I could have danced all night
I only know when he began to dance with me
I'll never know what made it so exciting
I could have danced all night
Sleep, sleep, I couldn't sleep tonight
I could have danced all night and still have begged for more
Why all at once my heart took flight
(Please, it's really time for you to be in bed)

I could have spread my wings
Why all at once my heart took flight
(Do come along, do as you're told)
And still have begged for more
Don't you agree now?

I could have danced all night

Why all at once my heart took flight

I'll never know what made it so exciting
And done a thousand things

I could have spread my wings
(Put down your book, the work'll keep)
(Now say goodnight, turn out the light)
It's all been grand, dear
I understand, dear
(Or Mrs. Pierce is apt to stir)
It's after three now
(Miss, you'll catch a cold)
