It has since been covered by several artists, including Dalida, the DeFranco Family, Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, and Michael Bublé.
This was a request for Joe Majdalani - Thanks for the suggestion Joe ! Hope you like it.

Lyrics
Now you can dance every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
And you can smile every smile for the man
Who held your hand beneath the pale moon light
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling, save the last dance for me
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
And don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So 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
'Til the night is gone
And it's time to go
If he asks if you're all alone
Can he walk you home, you must tell him no
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Save the last dance for me
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
And don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling, save the last dance for me
So don't forget who's taking you home
Or in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling, save the last dance for me
Oh baby, won't you save the last dance for me
Ooh, you make a promise
That you'll save the last dance for me
Save the last dance
The very last dance
For me

Hello Phil ❤❤❤🎸🎶🎸🎶🎸
Good to hear from you Deise ! All the best Phil
Wow!!!
Thank you so much Phil for taking my request !!!
You are such an inspiration for me to keep on learning new songs and keep on practicing!
Once again you played it divinely and I can't thank you enough for the tabs!!
Have a great week and you can always count on me to suggest new songs from time to time 😊
You're very welcome Joe !! It was a good suggestion and I really liked Rogers " Key Changing" arrangement which makes it more lively albeit the Tabs a bit longer (as no repeats in the same key ! LOL ) Appreciate you buying the Backing track for me and hope the Tabs come in useful and you get on well. All the best Phil
Hey Phil!
Anytime you're looking for more suggestions I have another oldies track on my list of songs I hope I can learn 😊
The song is called oh Carol and the BT is available free on UA-cam !

Hi Eric - Yes Roger has certainly Jazzed this one up a bit and he's very fond of his key changes ! LOL So glad you liked it..All the best Phil
Good Sat Morn Phil, a tune of the bygone days and still sounds great to listen to. You did an excellent job with the A B C Strat (esp. the tonal changes) and backed by a wonderful BT with intro on the bongos🪘. Save the last dance for me - rendered brilliantly and sounded lovely as an instrumental. Hope all is well and you are doing good, keep the smile on and have a wonderful weekend. See you soon with a new upload, bye and take care.
Good to hear from you Krishna and thanks for your good comments on this one.. Always fun to play Rogers arrangement of a song and very pleased you liked this one.. All the best Phil

Great Drifters song Phil, nice arrangement, with a few key changes in the BT ,makes for a nice instrumental of this well liked song. Enjoyed it very much , well played ,BTU 211 👍👍🎸🎸🎶🎶👏👏😊😊.
All the best Dave.
Thanks a lot Dave - Yes RP is fond of the key changes - it helps give the song a lift but makes the Tabs longer as you cant use repeats as they are in different fret positions.. Oh well still got them all on 1 page LOL. So glad you liked it.. All the best Phil
Don`t know what to make of this one Phil .It seems to be a jazzed up version of the original song .
i`m used to the original so that`s what I like . I`d rather it was done in this way for me Phil
Sorry ,
Roger
That's OK Roger - I could have used an original style backing but the requester wanted Rogers version and provided the BT. I think there is room for both.. Cheers Phil
Hi Phil, great sound, fantastic playing! I really like your recording. All the best...Roman
Thanks for your good comments Roman !! All the best Phil

Hi Phil, thank you so much for this rendition of this classic song. In the arrangement you have made i really like the change between the damped section and the crystal clear sounding measure after that damped section. As always just great work from your hands Phil. Cheers,Ron😃👍🎸

Hi Phil 👋 looks like you got a haircut lately, anyway nice classic one of the Drifters, look as tho you had to practice then play it as it was natural to u on camera. thanks for sharing this. 👍😊
Hi Matthew !! yes you are right I had just come back from the hair dressers LOL ! I knew the song well but Rogers backing had two key changes which made the Tabs longer (as no repeats in the same key) just managed to get it all on 1 page. Thanks as always for your great comments.. All the best Phil

Hello Phil....have you ever had a Jazzmaster....what is your opinion on it.....I always wanted to get one, but I hardly play any Ventures or Surf tunes.....I am afraid if I get one, it might get just a little play time.....your advice please.....thanks....cheers, Ramon.
Hi Ramon - I've only ever borrowed one - if you go into 29 seconds of this song you will see it ua-cam.com/video/wXmUqTjNXtU/v-deo.html
