Once lived a man who loved his wife Her name: Mumtaz Mahal He shared with her a happy life He loved Mumtaz Mahal
His fourteen children she would bear The last would leave her lying in bed It didn't seem quite possible [not sure] He lost Mumtaz Mahal
*And this emperor couldn't stop his tears The news confirmed his darkest fears [not sure] His childhood love, his lifelong friend He would never see again
[repeat *]
He couldn't bear to see her go Goodbye, Mumtaz Mahal There must be someway he could show How much he loved Mumtaz
He built a final resting place As stunning as his lost wife's face A monument to honour her grace He built the Taj Mahal
**Though [something something something] stone Couldn't bring his lost wife home Others will remember him A man's love for his wife
[repeat **]
Three hundred years have passed somehow Two lovers lie together now Their love withstood the test of time Still stands the Taj Mahal
