Save The Last Dance For Me
Cherish the Moment: Save the Last Dance for True Love
Lyrics
Now you can dance every dance with the guy
Encouragement to dance with others
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
Encouragement to enjoy the moment
And you can smile every smile for the man
Encouragement to show happiness
Who held your hand beneath the pale moon light
Reference to a romantic moment
But don't forget who's takin' you home
Reminder of who'll take her home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Highlighting the future closeness
So darling, save the last dance for me
Request to save the last dance
Oh, I know that the music's fine
Acknowledgment of enjoyable music
Like sparklin' wine, go and have your fun
Comparing music to joy
Laugh and sing, but while we're apart
Advice not to give heart away
Don't give your heart to anyone
Emphasizing emotional reservation
And don't forget who's takin' you home
Reiteration of the reminder
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Reiterating future closeness
So darling, save the last dance for me
Repetition of the request
Baby, don't you know I love you so
Expressing deep affection
Can't you feel it when we touch
Emphasizing love through touch
I will never, never let you go
Commitment to never letting go
I love you oh, so much
Professing intense love
You can dance, go and carry on
Encouragement to continue dancing
'Til the night is gone
Enjoyment until the night ends
And it's time to go
Signaling the end of the night
If he asks if you're all alone
Advice to decline an offer
Can he walk you home, you must tell him no
Specific instruction to refuse
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
Reminder of who'll take her home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Reiterating future closeness
Save the last dance for me
Repetition of the request
Oh, I know that the music's fine
Acknowledgment of enjoyable music
Like sparklin' wine, go and have your fun
Comparing music to joy
Laugh and sing, but while we're apart
Advice not to give heart away
Don't give your heart to anyone
Emphasizing emotional reservation
And don't forget who's taking you home
Reiteration of the reminder
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Reiterating future closeness
So darling, save the last dance for me
Repetition of the request
So don't forget who's taking you home
Reiteration of who'll take her home
Or in whose arms you're gonna be
Reiterating future closeness
So darling, save the last dance for me
Final request to save the last dance
Oh baby, won't you save the last dance for me
Urging to keep the last dance
Ooh, you make a promise
Request to make a promise
That you'll save the last dance for me
Reiteration of saving the last dance
Save the last dance
Emphasis on saving the final dance
The very last dance
Specific emphasis on the last dance
For me
Final plea to save the last dance
