The song "Save The Last Dance For Me" by Harry Connick, Jr. is a cover of the original song by The Drifters. The lyrics tell a story about a person who is giving their partner permission to enjoy themselves at a dance or social event, but also reminding them to remember who they are ultimately going home with. The narrator acknowledges that their partner can dance and have fun with anyone who gives them attention, but they should always save the last dance for them. They want their partner to smile, hold hands, and enjoy the night, but not forget the love they share and who they belong to. The song emphasizes the deep love and commitment between the narrator and their partner. They express their devotion and urge their partner not to give their heart to anyone else while they are apart. The narrator reassures their partner of their love, expressing that they will never let them go. They want their partner to know that their love is strong and genuine. In the last verse, the narrator reminds their partner that if someone asks them to go home with them, they should firmly decline. The message is clear - the last dance should always be saved for the narrator, as they are the one who truly cares and will be waiting for them. Overall, "Save The Last Dance For Me" is a heartfelt plea for loyalty and reminds us of the importance of cherishing our loved ones, even in moments of separation or temptation.
