You and your smile hold a strange invitation
Somehow it seems we've shared our dreams, but when
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 gray 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 a 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 gray 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 a 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
