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' Twas 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' Twas 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' 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?
