Invitation To The Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My heart was all dressed up to go dancing
I had a brand new shine on my views
The roses you sent for, the line that I went for
Was just an invitation to the blues
The very thought of love was entrancing
I figured I had nothing to lose
Your smile so elusive, your kiss so exclusive
Was just an invitation to the blues
I went to town, priced a wedding gown
Put my little red book on the shelf
Hired a hall, got the band and all
And marched down the aisle by myself
I guess you can't depend on romancing
It puts your heart right down in your shoes
Instead of a wedding for which I was heading
I got an invitation to blues
Instead of a wedding for which I was heading
I got an invitation to blues
