Save the Last Dance for Me
Cherish the Moment: A Dance of Love and Loyalty
Lyrics
You can dance-every dance with the guy
You are free to dance with any guy.
Who gives you the eye,
Especially with the one showing interest in you.
And let him hold you tight
You can let him hold you tightly while dancing.
You can smile, every smile for the man
Smile at every man who previously held your hand.
Who held your hand
Referencing a past romantic connection.
Beneath the candle light
This might evoke a romantic setting, perhaps a memory.
But don't forget who's takin' you home
Remember who will take you home after the dance.
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Highlighting the importance of the chosen dance partner.
So darlin' save the last dance for me
The plea to save the last dance for the speaker.
Oh, I know that the music's fine
Acknowledging that the music is enjoyable.
Like sparklin' wine,
Comparing the music to sparkling wine, emphasizing its quality.
Go and have your fun
Encouraging the listener to have fun and enjoy the moment.
Laugh and sing,
Expressing the joy of laughter and singing during the dance.
But when we're apart
A warning not to give your heart to anyone during separation.
Don't give your heart to anyone
Advising emotional caution when apart from the speaker.
But don't forget who's takin' you home
Reiterating the importance of remembering the chosen partner.
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Emphasizing the significance of the partner's embrace.
So darlin' save the last dance for me
Repeating the plea to save the last dance for the speaker.
Baby don't you know I love you so
Expressing deep love and affection for the listener.
Can't you feel it when we touch
Asking if the listener can feel the love through physical touch.
I will never never let you go
Promising never to let go of the listener.
I love you oh so much
Affirming profound love for the listener.
You can dance, go and carry on
Encouraging dancing and enjoyment until the night ends.
Till the night is gone
Suggesting carefree dancing until the time to leave arrives.
And it's time to go
When the night is over and it's time to depart.
If he asks, if you're all alone
If someone asks if you're alone.
Can he take you home
Whether he can take you home with him.
You better tell him no
Advising to decline the offer and say no.
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
Reiterating the importance of the original partner.
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Emphasizing the significance of the partner's embrace again.
And you better save the last dance for me
The final plea to save the last dance for the speaker.
Save the last dance for me
A repetition of the request to save the last dance.
Save the last dance for me
A final repetition of the plea to save the last dance.
