Invitation to the Blues (Roger Miller 1958)


Couldn't sleep last night, just walked the floor
Don't know how I'll stand this anymore
Lonely all the time since I lost you
Received your invitation to the blues

I don't know why you cause me such pain
I just hope I never go through this much again
Lonely me, I don't know what to do
Received your invitation to the blues

You took the laughter from this world of mine
Thanks to you the sun will never shine
Walked the floor so much, wore out my shoes
Received your invitation to the blues

And I don't know why you cause me such pain
I just hope I never go through this much again
Lonely me, I don't know what to do
Received your invitation to the blues
