Newman, John - Save The Last Dance Lyrics

My mother told me, "be strong my child
'Cause life will try hurt you
And life will try throwing you down"

My brother stood by me through thick and thin
But there's one thing I need to know
Before I get to the end

Oh won't you save the last dance for me?
It's all that I need, it's all that I need
Oh won't you save your last breath for me?
So I can die happy knowing you're with me
And the world makes me sleep

I need you, my Juliet, through all of this pain
I got this problem growing
Got something that's eating my brain

Oh I need you my lover to be by my side
So I can let go easy
Let go of my soul and my mind

Oh won't you save the last dance for me?
It's all that I need, it's all that I need
Oh won't you save your last breath for me?
So I can die happy knowing you're with me
And the world makes me sleep
