I Could Have Danced All Night Lyrics

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, a thousand things
i never, done before

i'll never know, what made it so exciting,
but all at once, my heart took flight

I only know, when she,
began to dance with me
i could have danced..danced..danced..

Bed! i could not go to bed
my head's to light to try and settle down
Sleep? i could not sleep tonight
not for all the jewels in the crown

I'll never know, what made it so exciting
but all at one, my heart took flight

i only know
when she began to dance with my,
i could have danced, danced da-anced all night

all night do-do-do-ah

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love that he can take so many different types of songs, from Pharell to Radiohead and Jimi Hendrix, even Lerner and Lowe's My Fair Lady, and make them uniquely his. Even though this is pretty much the epitome of a 'musicl' song, he pretty much ROCKED IT OUT in concert!

This is one of my favorite songs of his, and we had this CD that played overhead all summer at The Gap, and this song was on it, it was the only song I didn't get sick of. Every time I heard it, I'd have to tell one of my co-workers how excited I was that I was going to get to see him in concert and the standard response was 'I don't even know who the hell this is' before being exiled to fitting room duty! I was crossing my fingers that he'd do this, and I kept waiting for it, and it never came. Then guess what he did as an encore!?? I about flipped my lid!
