Invitation to the Blues lyrics

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.
