Emmylou Harris - Save The Last Dance For Me Lyrics

You can dance

Every dance with the girl who gives you the eye

Let her hold you tight

You can smile

Every smile for the girl who'd like to treat you right

'Neath the pale moonlight

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

And in who's arms you're gonna be

Oh, darlin', save the last dance for me

Oh, I know

That the music's fine like sparklin' wine

Go and have your fun

Dance and sing

But while we're apart 

Don't give your heart to anyone

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

And in who's arms you're gonna be

Oh, darlin', save the last dance for me

You can dance

Go and carry on till the night is gone

And it's time to go

If she asks

If you're all alone, can she take you home

You must tell her no

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

And in who's arms you're gonna be

Oh, darlin', save the last dance for me

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

And in who's arms you're gonna be

Oh, darlin', save the last dance for me
