De Burgh, Chris - Why Mona Lisa Smiled Lyrics






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;

Shame the Devil in my heart, but I can't stop thinking about her,
And what she's doing to me, doing to me;
T'was 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.

De Burgh, Chris Why Mona Lisa Smiled Comments
  1. M.... L....

    I was born about 10 000 years ago .
    And theres nothing in this world that I dont know .
    I saw Mathew , Mark and Moses
    Playing ring around the roses
    And will wink the guy who says it isnt so .


    I designed the pyramids along the Nile ,
    And was friendly with the pharaohs for a while.
    And then I got quite chummy
    With Mona Lisas mummy ,
    THATS WHY HER DAUGHTER HAS THAT FAMOUS SMILE !

    Dear Chris de Burgh ,
    Let me explain why Mona Lisa smiled . You see ...............
    I was born about 10 000 years ago
    And theres nothing in this world that I dont know .
    I saw Mathew, Mark and Moses
    Playing Ring-around-the-roses
    And will wink the guy who says it isnt so.


    I designed the pyramids along the Nile ,
    And was friendly with the pharaohs for a while .
    And then I got quite chummy
    With Mona Lisas mummy .
    Thats why her daughter has that famous smile.

    He might be rich but he has been writing songs since I was in grammar school and I'm 49 now. He writes songs for pleasure these days, but he still deserves every penny, because he is without compare. Live with it.

    f.... ....

    I spoke to him once via internet and ask who influenced him and he replied Roy Orbison, Beatles etc so we are going back to the 60's.

  29. f.... ....

    Chris de Burgh might aswell be Leonardo da Vinci, because he is a genious, he is divine. This song is why he is Chris de Burgh. I love him.

  30. t.... ....
