Eliza:
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.
Servant 1:
It's after three now.
Servant 2:
Don't you agree now
She ought to be in bed.
Eliza:
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.
Mrs. Pearce:
I understand, dear
It's all been grand, dear
But now it's time to sleep.
Eliza:
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.
