Standing Invitation (To Lay Down By Her Side) - Tom Jones

It sounds like fun

To have a party with you

I’ll buy you a drink

That’s the best that I can do

Well, you’re a beautiful lady

But a good time with you would be wrong

I’ve got another invitation

To a party with my lady at home

I’ve got a standing invitation

To candlelight and wine

A standing invitation

To soft arms, open wide

And when the candles burn down

And the wine runs out

Later on tonight

I’ve got a standing invitation

To lay down, by her side

There was a time

I would have jumped at the chance

We better make this

Our first and last dance

No harm has been done here

And it’s better

To keep it that way

I couldn’t stand for my standing invitation

To be taken away

I’ve got a standing invitation

To candlelight and wine

A standing invitation

To soft arms open wide

And when the candles burn down

And the wine runs out

Later on tonight

I’ve got a standing invitation

To lay down, by her side

I’ve got a standing invitation

To lay down, by her side
