Invitation - Sarah Vaughan

You and your smile

Hold a strange invitation

Somehow it seems

We’ve shared our dreams, but where?

Time after time

In a room full of strangers

Out of the blue

Suddenly you are there

Wherever I go

You’re the glow of temptation

Glancing my way

In the gray of the dawn

And always your eyes

Smile that strange invitation

When you are gone

Where oh where have you gone?

How long must I stay

In a world of illusion?

Be where you are

So near yet so far apart

Hoping you’ll say

With a warm invitation

Where have you been?

Darling come in, into my heart

Wherever I go

You’re the glow of temptation

Glancing my way

In the gray of the dawn

And always your eyes

Smile that strange invitation

When you are gone

Where oh where have you gone?

How long must I stay

In a world of illusion?

Be where you are

So near yet so far apart

Hoping you’ll say

With a warm invitation

Where have you been?

Darling come in, into my heart
