I've Got An Invitation To A Dance 1934

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.

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 now
but what good would it do
it would hurt me to see
the one who should be with me
with somebody else.
