Save the Last Dance for Me
Dance of Love: Unveiling the Heartfelt Tale in Patti LaBelle's Melody
Lyrics
You can dance
You are free to dance with anyone.
Every dance with the guy
Dance with the guy who is showing interest in you.
Who gives you the eye
Choose the man who is giving you attention.
Let him hold you tight
Let him hold you closely.
You can smile
Smile at any man who held your hand.
Every smile for the man
Share your smiles with the man you have a connection with.
Who held your hand
Referencing a romantic moment under the moonlight.
Beneath the pale moonlight
Emphasizing the romantic setting under the moonlight.
But don't forget who's taking you home
Remember the person who will take you home.
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Consider in whose arms you will be at the end of the night.
So darlin', save the last dance for me
Encouraging the partner to save the last dance for the speaker.
Oh, I know
Acknowledging that the music is enjoyable.
That the musics fine
Comparing the music to sparkling wine, suggesting its quality.
Like sparkling wine
Encouraging the partner to have fun.
Go and have your fun
Expressing that enjoyment should not lead to emotional involvement.
Laugh and sing
Indicating the joy of laughter and singing.
But while we're apart
Cautioning against giving one's heart to others while apart.
Don't give your heart to anyone
Emphasizing the importance of loyalty.
And don't forget who's taking you home
Reiterating the reminder of who will take the partner home.
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Reiterating the importance of whose arms the partner will be in.
So darlin', save the last dance for me
Repeating the request to save the last dance for the speaker.
Baby don't you know I love you so
Expressing deep love for the partner.
Can't you feel it when we touch
Asking the partner to feel the love during physical contact.
I will never never let you go
Promising never to let the partner go.
I love you oh so much
Expressing intense love for the partner.
You can dance
Reiterating the freedom to dance.
Go and carry on
Encouraging the partner to continue dancing until the night ends.
Till the night is gone
Enjoy the night until it's time to leave.
And it's time to go
Signaling the end of the night and the need to depart.
If he asks
If asked, admit that you are not alone.
If you're all alone
Confirm that the partner cannot take you home.
Can he take you home
Reject the offer to go home with another person.
You must tell him no
Emphasizing loyalty and commitment to the speaker.
Cause don't forget who's taking you home
Reminder of who will take the partner home.
And in whose arm's you're gonna be
Reiteration of whose arms the partner will be in.
So darlin' save the last dance for me
Final plea to save the last dance for the speaker.
