- Invitation LyricsYou and your smile
hold strange invitation
Somehow it seems
We've shared our dreams,
ohh 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 grey 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
hold strange invitation
Somehow it seems
We've shared our dreams,
ohh 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 grey of the dawn
And always your eyes smile
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
