Cdim Fdim A+5  A    F#m      C#m7-5 Cdim    Edim  F#7
It's the last dance,    we've come   to the last dance;

        Gdim    F#7  G6    Cm7-5 Gdim         D7     Bm7-5 Fdim  E7
They're dimming the lights down,      they're hoping we'll  go.

Bm7-5 E7             A     A9    A   A9  A   C#m7-5
 It's ob - vi - ous they're a - ware of us, 

    F#7    Cdim   DM7         Dm6
The pair of us, alone on the floor --

Dm+7 E7  A     C#m7-5          D9    F#m       Bm   Bm/E   E7
Still I want to hold you like this forever and more.


Cdim Fdim A+5  A    F#m         C#m7-5 Cdim Edim  F#7
It's the last song,     they're playing the last song,

   Gdim         F#7  G6    Cm7-5 Gdim          D7   Bm7-5 Fdim  E7
The or - ches - tra's yawn - ing,     they're sleepy  I   know,

Bm7-5    E7       A        C#m7-5    F#m      
They're wondering just when will we leave. 

    Bm7            A      C#m7-5     F#7
But till we leave,   keep holding me tight

Dm6      E7 A+5   A      F#m     Fdim   A     F#m  Cdim
Through the last dance,      each beat of the last dance --

B7          DM7   F#m            Fdim E7/6   A
Save me the first dance in your dreams to - night.
