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

(Not one word more, dear)
(It's after four, dear)
(You oughta be in bed)

I could have danced all night
(You're tired out)
I could have danced all night
(You must be dead)
(Your eyes are red)
And still have begged for more
(Let's say good night)
(Turn out the light)
(It's really time for you to be in bed)

I could have spread my wings
(I hate to?)
(I hate to scold)
And done a thousand things
(So turn around)
(You'll?)
(You're up too late)
I've never done before
(And sure?)
(You'll catch a cold)

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

I could have danced
(I understand, dear)
I could have danced
(It's all been grand, dear)
I could have danced
(But now it's time to sleep)
And danced, and danced...
