Invitation

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 grey 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 this 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.'

Wherever I go you're the glow of temptation,

Glancing my way in the grey 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 this 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.'
