About I Could Have Danced All Night

"I Could Have Danced All Night" is a song from the musical My Fair Lady, with music written by Frederick Loewe and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, published in 1956. The song is sung by the musical's heroine, Eliza Doolittle, expressing her exhilaration and excitement after an impromptu dance with her tutor, Henry Higgins - in the small hours of the morning. In a counterpoint during the second of 3 rounds, two maids and the housekeeper, Mrs. Pearce, urge Eliza to go to bed, but she ignores them. It was first performed by Julie Andrews in the original Broadway production of My Fair Lady. In the 1964 film adaptation of the musical, the song was sung by Marni Nixon, dubbing the singing voice of Audrey Hepburn, who played Eliza Doolittle. In 2004, Nixon's version finished at #17 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema. Hit versions of the song were recorded by Sylvia Syms, Dinah Shore, Angélica María, Ben E. King as an ATCO single, Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney, and Jamie Cullum. It was featured in The Birdcage sung by Nathan Lane, Hank Azaria, Gene Hackman, Robin Williams and Dianne Wiest. Many actresses have also sung the song in the stage version of the musical including Martine McCutcheon, Laura Michelle Kelly, Amy Nuttall, Lisa O'Hare, and Lauren Ambrose. more »

Could've danced all night, could've danced all night
And still have begged for more
I could've 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 she began to dance with me
I could've danced, danced, danced, danced, danced all night
I could've danced all night, I could've have danced all night
And still have danced some more
I could've spread my wings and done a thousand things
That I've never done before
 I'll never know what made it so, so exciting
 Why all at once my heart took flight
 I only know when she began to dance with me
 I could have danced, danced, danced, danced, danced all night
