[Verse 1]
You can dance
Every dance with the one who gives you the eye
Let him hold you tight
You can smile
Every smile for the one that holds your hand
In the pale moonlight

[Chorus]
Just don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me

[Verse 2]
Oh, I know
That the music's fine like sparklin' wine
Go and have your fun
Laugh and sing
But while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone

[Chorus]
Just don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me

[Verse 3]
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

You can dance
Go and carry on 'til the night is gone
'Til it's time to go
If she asks if you're all alone
Can she take you home?
You got to tell her no

[Chorus]
And don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me

[Chorus]
Just don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me
Ooh darlin', save the last dance for me

[Verse 4]
You can dance
Every dance with the one that gives you the eye
Let him hold you tight
You can smile
Every smile for the one that holds your hand
In the pale moonlight

[Chorus]
Just don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me

Ooh darlin', save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me
Dance, dance, dance, dance

Dolly Parton

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
