Clare Maguire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't feel like talking oh ho a waha
I wasn't ready to lose you
You're the first man to move me yeah
You help me feel alive
Got me up from nine to five oh ho a waha
I could get through those days
With you on my mind yeah
Gotta try and move on, but I promise you
I will kiss your crown when life takes me down
I saved my last dance for you my friend
I saved my last dance for you my friend
And all the seats in the crowd
Oh people love to move now oh ho a waha
I just can't feel the beat
'Cause my heart's fallen out yeah
Gotta try and move on but I promise you
I will kiss your crown when life takes me down
I'll save my last dance for you, my friend
I'll save my last dance for you, my friend
I've got my life in my hands, and your love in my heart
I've got my life in my hands, and your love in my heart
I'll save my last dance for you, my friend
And it seems I've lived my life, with you as my rhythm, yeah
And I know I'll find my feet after dreaming, yeah, yeah
I'll saved my last dance for you My friend
I'll saved my last dance for you My friend
I've got my life in my hands, and your love in my heart
I've got my life in my hands, and your love in my heart
I'll save my last dance for you, my friend
I've got my life in my hands, and your love in my heart (Today I feel the mood)
I've got my life in my hands, and your love in my heart
I've got my life in my hands, and your love in my heart (I wasn't ready to lose you, yeah, yeah)
I've got my life in my hands, and your love in my heart

Thank you for helping me to understand this is about MJ. Just shows how personal music is, as I think of losing my baby and the father, my lover, Alex a year later from cancer. I would play this endlessly. Re-visiting after 10 years. This October our child would be 11.
