You can dance
Every dance with the girl
Who gave you the eye
Let her hold you tight
You can smile
Every smile for the gal
Who held your hand
Beneath the pale moonlight
But don't forget you're taking me home
And in your arms is I wanna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me
Oh, I know
That the musics fine
Like sparkling wine
Go and have your fun
Laugh and sing
But while we're apart
Please don't give your heart to anyone
And don't forget you're taking me home
And in your arms I'm 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 let you go
I love you oh so much
But don't forget you're taking me home
And in your arms I'm 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 let you go
I love you oh so much
But don't forget you're taking me home
And in your arms I'm gonna be
Oh darlin', save the last dance for me
But don't forget you're taking me home
And in your arms I'm gonna be
Oh darlin', save the last dance for me
Save, oooh, save, please, darlin', save the last dance for me
