Lyrics
In your heart there must be music playing
Melodies your lips are not betraying
Why does the smile you give me have to be
Such a mystery?
Is your smile like sunshine of the morning?
Just a sign intended for a warning
You want me or don’t you?
You haunt me, so won’t you
Chorus
Tell me why you smile, Mona Lisa
Is love worth the while, Mona Lisa?
If I could look into your heart would I discover
It was the hiding place
Of more than one poor lover?
Your smile holds a charm, Mona Lisa
Can it bring me harm, Mona Lisa?
You’re just a picture on the wall
I’ll stand here gazing till I fall
And that’s why I sigh
For your sweet smile, Mona Lisa
