I Could Have Danced All Night Lyrics

[Intro: Lauren]
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

[Verse 1: Lauren]
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

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2: Lauren & Bubba, Both]
It’s after three now
Don’t you agree now
She ought to be in bed

I could’ve danced (Your time is up)
All night (You must be dead)
I could have danced (Your face is drawn)
All night (Your eyes are red)
And still (Now say goodnight)
Have begged (Please, turn out the light)
For more (Please, it’s really time for you to be in bed)
I could have spread (Just come along)
My wings (Do as you’re told)
And done a thousand (Or Mr. Finch)
Things (Is apt to scold)
I’d nev- (You’re up too late)
-er done (Please, I’m sure it’s late)
Before (Please, or as sure as Fate you’ll catch a cold)

I’ll never know what made it so exciting
When all at once my heart took flight
I only know (Put down that book)
When he (The book can keep)
Began to dance (Now settle down)
With me (And go to sleep)
I could have
Danced, danced, danced all night
