A Gasser: Invitation To The Blues - ANNIE ROSS

My heart was all dressed up to go dancing

I had a brand new shine on my news

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 nothin' to lose

Your smile so elusive

That kiss so exclusive

Was just an invitation to the blues

When I went to town

Got a wedding gown

Put my little red book up the shelf

Hired even a hard hall

I got the band and all

And I walked down the aisle by myself

I guess you can't depend upon romancing

It puts your heart right down in your shoes

Instead of a wedding

For which I was heading

I got an invitation to the blues

I guess you can't depend upon romancing

It puts your heart went down went 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
