Invitation to the Blues

Julie London (born Gayle Peck; September 26, 1926 – October 18, 2000) was an American singer, actress and game show panelist of the 1960s and 1970s. She was best known for her smoky, sensual voice. Her singing career's peak was in the 1950s as a pop and jazz singer, scoring a hit with her 1955 single "Cry Me a River". In the three and a half decades of her acting career, she co-starred opposite Gary Cooper in Man of the West (1958). Before her retirement, she later achieved renewed success with the female lead role of nurse Dixie McCall in the 1970s medical drama Emergency! (1972–1979), co-starring her best friend Robert Fuller and her real-life husband and best friend Bobby Troup, and produced by her ex-husband Jack Webb. more »

Well I 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 just never go through this much again
Thanks for sending something I can't use
Received your invitation to the blues

You took the laughter from this world of mine
And thanks to you the sun will never shine
I walk the floor so much I wore out my shoes
I received your invitation to the blues
I don't know why you cause me such pain
I just hope I just never go through this much again
Well lonely me I don't know what to do
Received your invitation to the blues
I don't know why you cause me such pain
I just hope I never go though this much again

Thanks for sending something I can't use
Received your invitation to the blues

I have a copy of the LYRICS shown above. I found a page on Google that shows THOSE WORDS but with credit given to music by ROGER MILLER and lyrics to Ray somebody - I've forgotten the last name. What's going on? I have MUSIC to "Invitation to the Blues" in my hand, credited to Doris Fisher, Allan Roberts, Arthur Gershwin, BUT ... it has completely different WORDS than the lyrics above! What is going on? more »
