A beautiful voice!         Nat King Cole

Mona Lisa Livingston/Evans

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa
men have named you.
You're so like the lady
with the mystic smile.
Is it only cause you're lonely
they have blamed you
for that Mona Lisa strangeness
in your smile?

"Do you smile
to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa,
or is this your way
to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been
brought to your doorstep.
They just lie there
and they die there.
Are you warm,
are you real, Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely,
lovely work of art?

"Mona Lisa.
Mona Lisa."

Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?    

The Mona Lisa,

Leonardo da Vinci,

Louvre Museum. Paris, France

1503 AD
