Save The Last Dance For Me Lyrics
Ev'ry dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye
Let him hold you tight
Ev'ry smile for the man who held your hand
'Neath the pale moonlight
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, ummm
That the music's fine
Like sparkling wine
Go and have your fun
But while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me, ummm
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
Go and carry on
'Til the night is gone
And it's time to go
If you're all alone
Can he take you home you must tell him no
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arm's you're gonna be
So, darlin', save the last dance for me
And in whose arm's your gonna be
So, darlin', save the last dance for me, ummm-mm
Save the last dance for me, Ah-haa
Save the last dance for me, Ah-haa
The song is based on the personal experience of Doc Pomus (the songwriter), who had polio and used crutches/wheelchair 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."
And, in asking, yet knowing the answer, "Save the last dance for me" Pomus expresses their mutual love.

I love this song, it's so simple and lovely. Michael Buble's version is pretty good, but this one is top notch.
this song was in queer as folk :D i love brian and justin!!!!!!
Michael Buble's is boring and dry. This has so much more feeling and the strings are beautiful
I want to come out exactly like how Justin did with Brian. That is my romantic fantasy. I really hope it comes true. :D <3
Whatever its origins, it's become an anthem for Cuckoldry and the modern man.
