7 MUSICALS - My Fair Lady - "I could have danced all night" 1 / 7

Musical theatre is a form of theatrical performance that combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting and dance. The story and emotional content of a musical – humor, pathos, love, anger – are communicated through words, music, movement and technical aspects of the entertainment as an integrated whole. Although musical theatre overlaps with other theatrical forms like opera and dance, it may be distinguished by the equal importance given to the music as compared with the dialogue, movement and other elements. Since the early 20th century, musical theatre stage works have generally been called, simply, musicals.

Lyrics 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 I could have danced all night (You're tired out, you must be dead) I could have danced all night (Your face is drawn, your eyes are red) And still have begged for more (Now say goodnight, turn out the light) (Please, it's really time for you to be in bed) I could have spread my wings (Do come along, do as you're told) And done a thousand things (Or Mrs. Pierce is apt to stir) I've never done before (You're up too late, please, it sure is late) (Miss, you'll catch a cold) I'll never know what made it so exciting Why all at once my heart took flight I only know when he (Put down your book, the work'll keep) Began to dance with me (Now settle down and go to sleep) I could have danced, danced, danced all night 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.
