Mona Lisa's Eyes
Hall And Oates · Other Songs - Hall And Oates
Bathe the walls in shades of brown
In my head regrets spin round
Since we've been apart
Never should'a let you go
But like Mona Lisa and Leonardo
The lines of love are hard to know
When love is a work of art
Could this be a tear I see in Mona Lisa's Eyes?
And is it for the fool who let a love like her's slip by?
(Mona Lisa)
Is it from a broken heart her smile could not disguise?
That must be a tear I see in Mona Lisa's Eyes
Eyes never lie, so I'm told
When love runs cool, life is cold
And every night I don't have you to hold
Something in me dies
Could this be a tear I see in Mona Lisa's Eyes?
And is it for the fool who let a love like her slip by?
(Mona Lisa)
Is it from a broken heart her smile could not disguise?
That must be a tear I see in Mona Lisa's Eyes
Every time I look at her, all I do is picture you
If only I could turn back time
Before the canvass dries
I would see your smile for me
In Mona Lisa's Eyes
Your smile for me is all I see
In Mona Lisa's Eyes
