Standing Invitation (To Lay Down by Her Side)

It sounds like fun
To have a party with you
I'll buy you a drink
That's the best that I can do
Well, you're a beautiful lady
But a good time with you would be wrong
I've got another invitation
To a party with my lady at home

I've got a standing invitation
To candlelight and wine
A standing invitation
To soft arms, open wide
And when the candles burn down
And the wine runs out
Later on tonight
I've got a standing invitation
To lay down, by her side

There was a time
I would have jumped at the chance
We better make this
Our first and last dance
No harm has been done here
And it's better
To keep it that way
I couldn't stand for my standing invitation
To be taken away

I've got a standing invitation
To candlelight and wine
A standing invitation
To soft arms open wide
And when the candles burn down
And the wine runs out
Later on tonight
I've got a standing invitation
To lay down, by her side

I've got a standing invitation
To lay down, by her side
