Save the last dance for me (The Drifters)

Save the last dance for me

這首由Doc Pomus 和Mort Shuman
在1960年合寫的歌，
在排行榜冠軍寶座上斷斷續續坐了三個禮拜，
是Doc Pomus自己的心情寫照。

原來Doc Pomus得過小兒麻痺症，
常常需要做輪椅或是著拐杖來行動。
他的妻子是百老匯演員和舞星，
在他們結婚那天，
Doc Pomus看著新婚太太，
和來賀禮的賓客在晚宴上跳舞，
有感而發，寫的曲子，
告訴他太太盡可以輕鬆作樂，
但是不要忘了自己的老公是誰。

Save the last dance for me

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 held your hand neath the pale moonlight

But dont forget whos taking you home
And in whose arms youre gonna be
So darlin, save the last dance for me, mmm

Oh, I know that the musics fine
Like sparkling wine go and have your fun
Laugh and sing but while were apart
Dont give your heart to anyone

But dont forget whos taking you home
And in whose arms youre gonna be
So darlin, save the last dance for me, mmm

Baby, dont you know I love you so?
Cant 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 its time to go
If he asks, if youre all alone
Can he take you home, you must tell him, no

Cause dont forget whos taking you home
And in whose arms youre gonna be
So darlin, save the last dance for me

Cause dont forget whos taking you home
And in whose arms youre gonna be
So darlin, save the last dance for me, mmm

Save the last dance for me, mmm, mmm
Save the last dance for me, mmm
Save the last dance for me
