Emmylou Harris
Save the Last Dance for Me
[Verse 1]
You can dance every dance with the girl
Who gives you the eye and let her hold you tight
You can smile every smile for the girl
Who would like to treat you right beneath the pale moonlight

[Chorus]
But don't forget who is taking you home
And in whose arms you're going to be
Oh, darling, save the last dance for me

[Verse 2]
Oh I know that the music's fine like sparkling wine
Go and have your fun
Dance and sing, but while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone

[Chorus]
And don't forget who is taking you home
And in whose arms you're going to be
Oh, darling, save the last dance for me

[Piano and Mandolin Solos]

[Verse 3]
You can dance, go and carry on
Until 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
[Chorus]
And don't forget who is taking you home
And in whose arms you're going to be
Oh, darling, save the last dance for me

And don't forget who is taking you home
And in whose arms you're going to be
Oh, darling, save the last dance for me
