Save the Last Dance for Me

(Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman)



Well, you can dance every dance

With the guy who gives you the eye

Let him hold you tight

And you can smile every smile

For the man who held your hand

Neath the pale moon light.

But don't forget who's taking you home

And in whose arms you're gonna be

Oh darlin', save the last dance for me.



Oh, I know that the music's fine like sparkling wine

Go and have your fun

Laugh and sing but while we're apart don't give your heart

To anyone.

And don't forget who's taking you home

And in whose arms you're gonna be

Oh darlin', save the last dance for me.



Baby don't you know I love you so

Can't you feel it when we touch

I will never ever let you go

'Cause I love you oh, so much.



Well, you can dance, go and carry on

Till the night is gone and it's time to go

And if he asks if you're all alone can he take you home

You gotta tell him no.

And don't forget who's taking you home

And in whose arms you're gonna be

Oh darlin', save the last dance for me.



Baby don't you know I love you so

Can't you feel it when we touch

I will never ever let you go

'Cause I love you oh, so much.



Oh darlin', save the last dance for me...
