VERSE 1
     D
You can dance ev'ry dance with the guy

                           A7
Who gives you the eye; let him hold you tight.


You can smile ev'ry smile for the man

                            D
Who held your hand beneath the pale moonlight.

CHORUS 1
          G
But don't for-get who's taking you home

             D
And in whose arms you're going to be.

  A7                   D
So darlin', save the last dance for me..Ooh.

VERSE 2
   D
Oh, I know  that the music's fine

                        A7
Like sparklin' wine; go and have your fun.


Laugh and sing, but while we're apart

                     D
Don't give your heart to anyone.

CHORUS 2
          G
But don't for-get who's taking you home

              D
And in whose arms you're going to be.

       A7                           D
So darlin', save the last dance for me..Ooh.


BRIDGE

                  A7
Baby, don't you know I love you so?

                        D
Can't you feel it when we touch?

                    A7
I will never, never let you go.

                 D
I love you, oh, so much.

VERSE 3
      D
You can dance, go carry on

                            A7
Till the night is gone and it's time to go.


If he asks if your alone,

                       D
Can he walk you home, you must tell him no.


CHORUS 3  (two times)

          G
But don't for-get who's taking you home

             D
And in whose arms you're going to be.

     A7                D
So darlin', save the last dance for me..Ooh.

OUTRO

Save the last dance for me. (fade)
