I could have dance all night

※百老匯音樂會後，這首曲子的旋律，常常在耳畔旋繞，終於把

歌詞找出來，把年輕時的喜愛，徹徹底底地回味，於是在窈窕淑

女中，Audrey Hepburn美麗輕盈的身影，彷彿也隨著這歌聲，

在我眼前繞著，舞著-------

I Could Have Danced All Night

Julie Andrews
Lyrics by Alan Lerner
Music by Frederick Loewe

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,
Servant 1 & 2: She ought to be in bed.

Eliza (Eliza's Maids):
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. Please 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. Pearce is apt to scold.)
I've never done before. (You're up too late. Please, in your state,)
(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 will keep.)
Began to dance with me (Now settle down and go to sleep.)
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!
