Why Mona Lisa Smiled

From candles burning, shadows in the night

People praying for eternal life

But my mind just keeps on wandering

Away from this serene and hallowed place

To a woman's face

She was lovely, lovely as a dream

She had the beauty, the beauty of a queen

They say that every man who meets her sooner or later will fall

Even me that they call

The master of invention, the painter of our times

I can take you round the Heavens and show you how to fly

'Twas a moment caught forever, there was something in her eyes

But I wish I could remember why Mona Lisa smiled

She sat before me, this woman so divine

Something eternal was shining in her eyes

Oh, Lisa del Giocondo, you opened up a world of mystery

When you were looking at me

The master of invention, the painter of our times

I can take you 'round the Heavens and show you how to fly

'Twas a moment caught forever, there was something in her eyes

But I wish I could remember why Mona Lisa smiled

Shame the devil in my heart but I can't stop thinking about her

And what she's doing to me, doing to me

'Twas a moment of perfection, the canvas never lies

But I wish I could remember why Mona Lisa smiled

Why Mona Lisa smiled?

Why Mona Lisa smiled?

Why Mona Lisa smiled?
