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

"SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME"
Randy Meisner
You can dance, you can dance with the guy
Who gave you the eye
And let him hold you tight
You can smile, you can 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
Yes, 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
So darlin', save the last dance for me
Don't you know I really love you so?
Can't you feel it when we touch?
Don't you know I'll never let you go
I need you oh so much
You can dance, you can carry on
'Til the night is gone
And it's time to go
And if he asks
If you're all alone and he can take you home
You must tell him no
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
So darlin', save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me...
Richard Tricker
Definitely the best voice the Eagles had , not one off them are fit to walk in his shoes, Randy Meisner take a bow🇺🇸🥇👏👏👏
Paula Jenkins
Randy made that band, his harmonies were spot on, and he helped Glenn learn how to sing on key. they never were the same once he left, and Glenn RIP could not sing TTTL, should have retired that song when Randy left!
Dahstin
They kicked out everyone who was more talented than them.
Shirley Pena
@Richard Tricker I agree 100%.👍👍
Dahstin
They kicked him out of the band because he was the most talented.
