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.
