I Could Have Danced All Night Lyrics by Julie Andrews, Phillippa Bevans

A Little Bit of Broadway

1956

[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
[MAID 1]
It's after three now
[MAID 2]
Don't you agree now
[MAIDS]
She ought to be in bed?
[ELIZA, MAID 1, MAID 2]
I could have danced (You're tired out)
All night (You must be dead)
I could have danced (Your face is drawn)
All night (Your eyes are red)
[ELIZA & MAIDS]
And still (Now say goodnight, please)
Have begged (Turn out the light, please)
For more (It's really time for you to be in bed)
[ELIZA, MAID 1, MAID 2]
I could have spread my wings (Just come along, do as you're told)
And done a thousand things (Or Mrs. Pearce is apt to scold)
[ELIZA & MAIDS]
I've never done (You're up too late, miss, as sure as fate, miss)
Before (You'll catch a cold)
[ELIZA]
I'll never know
What made it so exciting
Why all at once
My heart took flight
[ELIZA, MAID 1, MAID 2]
I only know (Put down your book)
When he (The work will keep)
[ELIZA & MAIDS]
Began to dance with me (Now settle down and go 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
