Invitation - Caterina Valente

You and your smile hold a strange invitation

Somehow it seems

We’ve shed our dream but we’re

Time after time in a room full of strangers

Out of the blue, suddenly you were there

Wherever I go you’re the glow of temptation

Glancing my way in the grey of the dawn

And always your smile holds that strange invitation

Then you are gone

Where oh where have you gone

How long must I live in a world of illusion

Be where you are so near yet so far, apart

Hoping you’ll say with a sweet invitation

Where have you been, darling come in

Into my heart
