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
The Last Dance by Maguire Clare is an emotional song about an individual who has lost a close friend or lover and is struggling to cope with the loss. The lyrics evoke feelings of sadness, longing, and nostalgia. The opening lines suggest that the singer is in a somber frame of mind and is not in the mood for conversation. Despite the pain and heartache of losing someone special, the singer finds comfort in the memories they shared with this individual, who they describe as the first man to move them, bringing them to life and helping them get through mundane days by thinking of them.
The chorus, "I saved my last dance for you, my friend," is a powerful statement that highlights the profound bond between the individual and their lost lover/friend. It represents that they want to cherish the memories they had together and keep them alive through their love. The song speaks of how the singer is trying to move on but cannot find the beat because their heart has fallen out for the person they love. The final lines, "I've got my life in my hands, and your love in my heart," show that the singer is keeping the memory of their loved one close in their heart and carrying on with their life, but with a profound sense of loss.

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.
