I'LL SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR YOU
(Doc Pomus / Mort Shuman)


Damita Jo - 1960





If I dance every dance with the guys who give me the eye
And let 'em hold me tight
Please don't mind if I smile at the man who holds my hand
Neath the pale moonlight
I won't forget who's taking me home
And you should remember, too
That I'm saving the last dance for you

Mmm, I know that the music's fine, like sparkling wine
But my mind's on you
I can tell by the way you look at me
That you're thinking too
I won't forget that you're taking me home 
When the night is through
So I'm saving the last dance for you

Baby, don't you know I love you so
Can't you feel it when we touch
I will never, ever let you go
I love you, oh, so much

If I dance and I carry on until the night is gone
It's just for fun
And you know when it's time to go
You'll be the one to take me home
Don't want to give my goodnight kiss 
To anyone but you
So I'm saving the last dance for you

(Instrumental Break)

Don't want to give my goodnight kiss 
To anyone but you
So I'm saving the last dance for you
Hmm-hmm-hmm, saving the last dance for you
Hmm-hmm-hmm ......... FADE


**This was an 'answer song' to The Drifters "Save The Last Dance For Me"
