I Could Have Danced All Night

Bed? bed -- i couldn't go to bed
My head's too light to try to settle 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'd never done before
I'll never know what made it so exciting
When 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
