I Could Have Danced All Night
Dancing through Night's Whimsy
Lyrics
Bed! Bed! I couldn't go to bed!
Expressing reluctance to go to bed.
My head's too light to try to set it down!
Feeling too exhilarated to rest one's head.
Sleep! Sleep! I couldn't sleep tonight.
Unable to sleep due to intense emotions.
Not for all the jewels in the crown!
Emphasizing the value of the experience over material wealth.
I could have danced all night!
Expressing the joy of dancing and the desire for more.
I could have danced all night!
-And still have begged for more.
-I could have spread my wings
Imagining the freedom to explore new things and take risks.
And done a thousand things
-I've never done before.
-I'll never know
Reflecting on the excitement of the moment and its sudden impact on the heart.
What made it so exciting;
-Why all at once
-My heart took flight.
-I only know when he
Recalling the enchantment when the partner started dancing.
Began to dance with me
-I could have danced, danced, danced all night!
-It's after three now.
Noting the late hour.
Don't you agree now,
Suggesting the speaker should be in bed.
She ought to be in bed.
-I could have danced all night!
Reiterating the desire to continue dancing.
I could have danced all night!
-And still have begged for more.
-I could have spread my wings
Continuing to imagine new experiences and adventures.
And done a thousand things
-I've never done before.
-I'll never know
Reflecting on the mysterious and exciting nature of the moment.
What made it so exciting.
-Why all at once my heart took flight.
-I only know when he
Reiterating the joy felt during the dance.
Began to dance with me.
-I could have danced, danced danced all night!
-I understand, dear.
Acknowledging the enjoyment but recognizing the need for rest.
It's all been grand, dear.
-But now it's time to sleep.
-I could have danced all night,
Repeating the longing for more dancing.
I could have danced all night.
-And still have begged for more.
-I could have spread my wings,
Expressing the desire for personal growth and new experiences.
And done a thousand things
-I've never done before.
-I'll never know
Reflecting on the thrilling and sudden excitement.
What made it so exciting.
-Why all at once my heart took flight.
-I only know when he
Recalling the joy experienced when the partner began to dance.
Began to dance with me
-I could have danced, danced, danced
-All night!
Concluding with the overwhelming desire to dance all night.
