Pardon me, is your love taken?
Hope I haven't been mistaken
Thinking you might love me
You might love me

Now here's my invitation
I have made the reservation
For an evening for two
An evening with you

But if you say this can't be
Then all I can say is
Won't you pardon me?

I don't think that I can take it
If you say that you can't make it
This evening at eight
Please don't be late

I know that you're admired
But don't say that you are tired
And you'd like to decline
Till some other time

I think that you should know
The way that I feel, yes
I love you
How nice it would be to spend
An evening alone with you

I think that you should know
The way that I feel, yes
I love you
How nice it would be to spend
An evening alone with you

Pardon me, is your love taken?
Hope I haven't been mistaken
Thinking you might love me
You might love me

Now here's my invitation
I have made the reservation
For an evening for two
An evening with you
