Invitation Songtext
von Carmen McRae

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
Then 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
Come into my heart
