Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can smile ev'ry smile for the man who held your hand 'neath the pale moonlight
But don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me mm
Oh, I know that the music's fine like sparkling wine go and have your fun
Laugh and sing but while we're apart don't give your heart to anyone
But don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arms you're gonna be
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 till the night is gone and it's time to go
If he asks if you're all alone can he take you home you must tell him no
Cause don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arm's you're gonna be
So darlin save the last dance for me
Cause don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arm's your gonna be
So darlin save the last dance for me mm
Save the last dance for me mm
Save the last dance for me
The first verse of Franz Lambert's song 'Revolution In Paradise' speaks to a woman who is enjoying her time on the dance floor with a man who has caught her eye. However, the singer reminds her not to forget who will be taking her home at the end of the night, indicating that she should hold the last dance for him. The second verse reinforces this theme of loyalty, as the singer pleads with the woman not to give her heart away to anyone else while they are apart. He reminds her of his love for her and promises never to let her go.
Overall, the song is a plea for commitment and fidelity, framed within the context of a dance floor. The singer is saying that while it's fine to enjoy the company of others, it's important to remember who will be there for you in the long run. The repeated refrain of "save the last dance for me" reinforces this message and makes it clear that the singer is serious about his desire for the woman's loyalty.
