Save the Last Dance for Me
Cherished Moments: Save Your Last Dance for Love
Lyrics
You can dance
You have the freedom to dance with anyone.
Every dance with the guy
Especially dance with the guy who shows interest in you.
Who gives you the eye
Pay attention to the guy who is giving you romantic looks.
Let him hold you tight
Let him embrace you closely.
You can smile
Feel free to smile at others.
Every smile for the man
Save your warm smiles for the man who held your hand.
Who held your hand
This refers to a specific person with whom the singer has a connection.
Beneath the pale moonlight
These romantic encounters happen under the moonlight.
But don't forget who's taking you home
Remember who will escort you back home.
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Consider whose arms you will find comfort in.
So darlin', save the last dance for me
A plea to save the last dance of the night for the singer.
Oh, I know
Acknowledgment that enjoyable moments may occur.
That the musics fine
Comparing the music to sparkling wine implies its quality.
Like sparkling wine
Encouragement to enjoy oneself.
Go and have your fun
Have fun but with a cautionary tone.
Laugh and sing
Suggesting laughter and singing during separation.
But while we're apart
Caution against giving your heart to others in the singer's absence.
Don't give your heart to anyone
Emphasizing the importance of loyalty.
And don't forget who's taking you home
Repeat of the importance of remembering who takes you home.
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Reiteration of the significance of the person holding you.
So darlin', save the last dance for me
Repetition of the plea to save the last dance.
Baby don't you know I love you so
Expressing deep love for the partner.
Can't you feel it when we touch
Sensing love through physical touch.
I will never never let you go
A promise to never let go of the loved one.
I love you oh so much
Declaration of intense love.
You can dance
Repetition of the freedom to dance.
Go and carry on
Encouragement to continue dancing until the night ends.
Till the night is gone
Suggesting a carefree attitude during the night.
And it's time to go
Indicating when the festivities should conclude.
If he asks
If questioned about being alone, respond negatively.
If you're all alone
Express reluctance to let someone else take you home.
Can he take you home
A firm rejection of another's offer to escort you.
You must tell him no
Emphasizing loyalty to the partner.
Cause don't forget who's taking you home
Repeat of the importance of remembering who takes you home.
And in whose arm's you're gonna be
Reiteration of the significance of the person holding you.
So darlin' save the last dance for me
Final plea to save the last dance for the singer.
