Shirley Bassey - I Could Have Danced All Night

1979 (Shirley Bassey will brighten anyone's day if they listen to her version of this classic song.. From her TV Variety Show)

This song was recorded and released on Shirley's 1965 LP titled, 'Shirley Bassey - Belts The Best'

ABOUT this song:
"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 play's heroine, Eliza Doolittle, expressing her exhilaration and excitement after an impromptu dance with her tutor Henry Higgins.

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 Eliza Doolittle (who was played by Audrey Hepburn).

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 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!

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!
