Bed? bed -- i couldn't go to bed

My head's too light to try to settle 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'd never done before

I'll never know what made it so exciting

When 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

When all at once my heart took flight

I only know
