[Verse 1: Sylvia Syms]
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

[Interlude: Chorus]
No one word more dear
It's after four dear
You ought to be in bed

[Verse 2: Sylvia Syms & Chorus]
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
(Let's say goodnight, turn out the light, it's really time for you to be in bed)
I could have spread my wings
(I aim to scold)
And done a thousand things
(So come along, do as you're told)
I've never done before
(You're up too late, as sure as fate 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 began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced, all night

[Outro: Sylvia Syms & Chorus]
I could have danced (I understand dear)
I could have danced (It's all been grand dear)
I could have danced (But now it's time to sleep)
