Alan Jay Lerner - I Could Have Danced All Night Lyrics

[ELIZA]
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

[SERVANT 1]
It's after three now

[SERVANT 2]
Don't you agree now

[BOTH]
She ought to be in bed
[ELIZA]
I could have danced all night

[SERVANT 1]
You're tired out

[SERVANT 2]
You must be dead

[ELIZA]
I could have danced all night

[SERVANT 1]
Your face is pale

[SERVANT 2]
Just as she said

[ELIZA]
And still have begged for more

[SERVANTS]
Now say goodnight
Please turn out the light
Please it's really time for you to be in bed
[ELIZA]
I could have spread my wings

[SERVANT 1]
Just come along
Do as you're told

[ELIZA]
And done a thousand things I've never done before

[SERVANT 1]
Or Mrs. Pearce is apt to scold

[SERVANTS]
You're up too late, please as sure as fate
Miss you'll catch a cold

[ELIZA]
I'll never know what made it so exciting
Why all at once my heart took flight
I only know when he

[SERVANT 1]
[?]

[SERVANT 2]
The work will keep
[ELIZA]
Began to dance with me

[SERVANTS]
Just settle down
And try to sleep

[ELIZA]
I could have danced, danced danced all night

[MRS. PEARCE]
I understand, dear
It's all been grand, dear
But now it's time to sleep

[ELIZA]
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
