Save The Last Dance For Me...
Posted On 04/25/2010 14:03:46 by daiseyboo

You can dance
Ev'ry dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye
Let him hold you tight
You can smile
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, mmmm

Oh, I know (oh, I know)
That the music's fine
Like sparkling 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 taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me, mmmm

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 (you can dance)
Go and carry on
'Til 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 taking you home
And in whose arm's you're gonna be
So, darlin', save the last dance for me

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arm's your gonna be
So, darlin', save the last dance for me, mmmm

Save the last dance for me, mmmm-hummmm
Save the last dance for me, mmmm

For Sweetfairy: Yes, I can....Doc Pomus


The guy who brought the pretty girl to the dance is a real gentleman.


He tells her she can dance “every dance with the guy who gives you the eye.” She’s told to “go and have your fun.” Still he reminds her of certain limits. She’s told at evening’s end, she’ll be in his arms. He tells her not to forget who’s taking her home. The message is clear. Save the last dance for me.


The story of the lover’s plea unfolds beautifully in the Doc Pomus-Mort Shuman song, “Save The Last Dance For Me.” First recorded by The Drifters, a group that Pomus and Shuman had also written “This Magic Moment” for, the song retains its majesty and pathos 50 years later.


“Save The Last Dance For Me” was a huge hit for The Drifters. It climbed to the top of Billboard’s Pop and R&B charts in the fall of 1960. Lead singer Ben E. King, who would soon leave the group and launch a solo career with the graceful and majestic hits, “Spanish Harlem” and “Stand By Me,” sensed how the song should be sung. He gave a stunning performance, swaying and soaring with the music Shuman had written.
