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
