Invitation To The Blues Lyrics - Julie London

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.
