Why Mona Lisa Smiled Lyrics - Chris De Burgh

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?
