Save the Last Dance for Me

(Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman)



You can dance every dance with the guy

Who gave you the eye, let him hold you tight

You can smile every smile for the man

Who liked to treat you right 'neath the pale moon light

But don't forget who's taking you home

And in whose arms you're gonna be

So darlin', save the last dance for me.



Oh, I know that the music is fine like sparkling wine

Go and have your fun

Dance and sing but while we're apart

Don't give your heart to anyone

But don't forget who's taking you home

And in whose arms you're gonna be

So darlin', save the last dance for me.



Baby, don't you know I love you so

Well, can't you feel it when we touch

I will never ever let you go

I love you oh, so much.



You can dance, go and carry on till the night is gone

And it's time to go

If he asks if you're all alone, can he take you home

And must tell him no

But don't forget who's taking you home

And in whose arms you're gonna be

So darlin', save the last dance for me.

'Cause don't forget who's taking you home

In whose arms you're gonna be

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



Mmm Darling

(Save the last dance, save the last dance.)

Save the last dance for me...
