Save the Last Dance for Me
Cherished Moments: Save the Last Dance for True Love
Lyrics
You can dance every dance with the guy
You are free to dance with other guys
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
Dance with the one who shows interest, let him embrace you
You can smile every smile for the man
Smile for the man who previously held your hand under moonlight
Who held your hand 'neath the pale moonlight
Remember the one who had a romantic moment with you
But don't forget who's taking you home
Don't forget who will escort you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Be aware of the person in whose arms you'll find comfort
So darlin', save the last dance for me, hmm
Save the last dance for the speaker
Oh, I know that the music's fine (oh, I know, yes I know)
Acknowledging the allure of the music, giving permission to enjoy
Like sparkling wine go and have your fun
Encouragement to have fun like sparkling wine
Laugh and sing but while we're apart
Laugh and sing, but guard your heart while apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
Caution not to give one's heart to anyone else
But don't forget who's taking you home
Reminder of the person who will take you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Emphasizing the importance of the speaker's embrace
So darlin', save the last dance for me, hmm
Reiteration to save the last dance for the speaker
Baby, don't you know I love you so?
Expressing deep love for the listener
Can't you feel it when we touch?
Highlighting the emotional connection when they touch
I will never, never let you go
Promising never to let the listener go
I love you, oh, so much
Affirmation of intense love
You can dance, go and carry on
Permission to dance and enjoy the night
'Till the night is gone and it's time to go
Continue dancing until the night ends
If he asks, if you're all alone
If asked, declare you are not alone
Can he take you home, you must tell him, no
Refuse the offer to be taken home by someone else
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
Reminder of who will take you home
And in whose arm's you're gonna be
Reaffirmation of the importance of the speaker's embrace
So darlin', save the last dance for me
Repeat plea to save the last dance for the speaker
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
Reiteration of who will escort you home
And in whose arm's you're gonna be
Reaffirmation of the importance of the speaker's embrace
So darlin', save the last dance for me, hmm
Final plea to save the last dance for the speaker
Save the last dance for me, hmm, hmm
Repetition emphasizing the importance of the last dance
Save the last dance for me, hmmm
Continuation of the plea to save the last dance
Save
