Lyrics Shirley Bassey

Shirley Bassey

I Could Have Danced All Night

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!

It's after three now.

Don't you agree now,

She ought to be in bed.

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!

I understand, dear.

It's all been grand, dear.

But now it's time to sleep.

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!
