Emmylou Harris – Save the Last Dance For Me – 1979

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 like to treat you right ‘neath the pale moon light

But don’t forget who’s takin’ you home
And in whose 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 whose arms you’re gonna be
Oh darlin’, save the last dance for me

You can dance, go and carry on
‘Til 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 taking you home
And in whose arms you’re gonna be
Oh darlin’, save the last dance for me

And don’t forget who’s taking you home
And in whose arms you’re gonna be
Oh darlin’, save the last dance for me
