Invitation to the Blues

DORIS FISHER, ARTHUR GERSHWIN, ALLAN ROBERTS

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
