Lyrics

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 thou

sand things

I’ve nev

er done

be fore.

I’ll nev er know

what made it so

ex cit

ing,

why all at once

my heart

took

flight.

I on ly know

when he

be gan to dance

with me,

I could have danced,

danced,

danced

all

night!
