[The Drifters] - Save The Last Dance For Me.1960

You can dance

Every dance with the guy who gives you the eye

Let him hold you tight

 

You can smile

Every smile for the man who held your hand

'Neath the pale moon light

 

But don't forget who's takin' you home

And in whose arms you're gonna be

So darlin' save the last dance for me

 

Oh I know

That the musics fine like sparklin' wine

Go and have your fun

 

Laugh and sing

But while we're apart

Don't give your heart to anyone

 

But don't forget who's takin' 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?

Can't you feel it when we touch?

I will never never 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

You must tell him no

 

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

And in whose arms you're gonna be

So darlin' save the last dance for me

 

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

And in whose arms you're gonna be

So darlin' save the last dance for me

 

Save the last dance for me

Save the last dance for me

Save the last dance for me
