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 candle 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 walk you home,you must tell him no
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So 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

So don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling, save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me
Save the last dance, the very last dance for me.

    General Comment:The song isbased on the personal experience of Doc Pomus (he wrote the song), who had polio and used crutches to get around and could not dance. His wife, however, was a Broadway actress and dancer. The song gives his perspective of plaintively telling his wife to have fun dancing, but reminds her who will be taking her home and "in whose arms you're gonna be."

    General Comment:Love this song.
    Its just so catchy, and the meaning is pretty obvious.
    One alteration though. Its actually "beneath the pale moon light" not "candle light"

    General Comment:This song is adorable.. not only can I dance to it, but it makes me happy.. the lyrics are so cute.. because the guy knows that the girl will dance with him no matter with how many guys she might dance with =)

    General Comment:this is such a fun song :).

    basically, a guy is comfortable with the fact this his girl may dance with other guys because he knows that for the last dance, she'll be with him.

    and she'll be going home with him :).

    definitely going to be the last song played at my wedding reception.
