You can dance
ev ’ry dance with the one that gives you the eye; let him (Bb7)hold you tight.
You can smile
ev ’ry smile for the one that holds your hand in the (Eb)pale moon light.
Just (Bb7)don’t (Eb7)for (Ab)get who’s tak ing you home and in whose arms you’re (Eb)gon na be.
So, (Bb7)dar lin’,
save the last dance for (Eb)me.
Oh, I know
that the mu sic is fine, like spar kling wine; eye; go and (Bb7)have your fun.
Laugh and sing,
but while we’re a part one don’t give your heart to the (Eb)an y one.
Just (Bb7)don’t (Eb7)for (Ab)get who’s tak ing you home and in whose arms you’re (Eb)gon na be.
