Lyrics
Just a year ago you and I went dancing
Now this is another year, a new dance is on
With somebody else you will go romancing
The music will be a sad rhapsody for me
Chorus
I’ve got an invitation to a dance
But I don’t think I’ll go
I’d be sorry I know
I’m afraid I might see
The one who should be with me
With somebody else
I’ve got an invitation to a dance
It’s the town’s big affair
All our friends will be there
They may talk when they see
The one who should be with me
With somebody else
I don’t want to start a lot of gossip
Out of sight is out of mind
Maybe there is still a chance to make up
We may wake up and find
We’re leaving happiness behind
I’ve got an invitation to a dance
I could bring someone new
But what good would it do
It would hurt me to see
The one who should be with me
With somebody else
