Bed, bed, I couldn't go to bed

"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 could'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.
