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
T'was 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
T'was 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;
T'was 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.
