Save the Last Dance for Me

The Drifters

Transposer:

You can dance every dance with the guy Who gives you the eye let him hold you tight You can smile every smile for the man Who holds your hand  neath the pale moonlight But don't forget who's taking you home And in his arms you're gonna be Oh darling save the last dance for me Yes 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 any one And don't forget who's taking you home And in his arms you're gonna be Oh darling save the last dance for me Baby don't you know I love you so Can't you feel it when we touch I will never never let you go I love you oh so much You can dance go and carry on Till the night is gone and it's time to go If he asks if you're all alone Can he take you home you must tell him no And don't forget who's taking you home And in whose arms you're gonna be Save the last dance for me          (Instrumental) Yes 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 any one And don't forget who's taking you home And in his arms you're gonna be Oh darling save the last dance for me But don't forget who's taking you home And in his arms you're gonna be Oh darling save the last dance for me Oh darling save the last dance for me

La chanson évoque le sentiment de possessivité et d’amour dans une relation. Le narrateur encourage sa partenaire à profiter de la soirée en dansant avec d'autres, tout en lui rappelant qu'il est celui qui la ramènera chez elle. Il exprime son désir de garder une place spéciale dans son cœur, tout en lui demandant de ne pas se laisser emporter par les rencontres éphémères. La mélodie festive contraste avec cette demande d’exclusivité, soulignant la tension entre la liberté de s’amuser et le lien profond qui les unit. Le contexte pourrait être une soirée dansante où l’on se retrouve entouré d'amis et de nouvelles rencontres, typique des années 50, où les danses étaient à la fois un moyen de socialiser et d'exprimer ses sentiments.
