Invitation to the Blues

My heart was all set up to go dancing I had a brand new shine on my shoes The roses you sent for the line that I went for Was just an invitation to the blues The very thought of love was so entrancing I figured I had nothing to lose You smile so elusive That kiss so exclusive Was just an invitation to the blues Well I went to town Got a wedding gown Put my little red book up on the shelf I even hired a horn, I got the band and all And I walked down the aisle by myself I guess you can't depend on romances It puts your heart way down in your shoes Instead of a wedding For which I was heading I got an invitation to the blues guess you can't depend on romances It puts your heart way down, way down in your shoes Instead of a wedding For which I was heading I got an invitation Such a pretty invitation I got an invitation to the blues
