Lyrics
Invitation
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.
Take your partners for the dance
Quick before you miss the chance
Make your loving while you can
Or she'll find another man ... who will
Losing someone makes you sad,
Makes you think that life is bad
So sad ... drives you mad ...
Once upon a time there was, so there is still,
Loving of a kind that rhymed here until
Doors began to close and love was left screaming
When life was diagnosed by the doctors of dreaming
