I COULD HAVE DANCED ALL NIGHT (MY FAIR LADY, 1964)

“There can't be any feeling between the likes
of me and the likes of you.” – Eliza DoLittle

One of the most famous musicals came from the 1964 film, My Fair Lady. Based on a beloved musical, Rex Harrison plays Professor Henry Higgins who agrees to a wager to turn a very simple flowergirl named Eliza DoLittle (played loverly by Audrey Hepburn) to be one of the most refined lady with aristocratic accent. One of the songs, I Could Have Danced All Night was sung by Marni Nixon dubbing Audrey Hepburn's voice.



I COULD HAVE DANCED ALL NIGHT
sung by: Marni Nixon
(dubbing Audrey Hepburn)

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!

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!
