Invitation

Dinah Washington · I Wanna Be Loved [2005]

You and your smile

Hold strange invitation

Somehow it seems

We've shared our dreams

Oh, but where?

Time after time

In a room full of strangers

Out of the blue

Yeah, suddenly you're there

Wherever I go

You're the glow of temptation

Clumsing my way

In the gray of the dawn

And always your eyes smile

At strange invitation

Then you're gone

Wait, no

Where have you gone?

How long must I stay

In a world of illusion?

But where are you?

You were so near

But then you were so far a apart

Hoping you'll say with a warm invitation

Where have you been, daddy

Come into my heart
