Why Mona Lisa Smiled
Chris de Burgh
Intro: verse 1: 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. verse 2: 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. verse 3: 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. Bridge: 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?
