Mona Lisa’s Smile

She has a mysterious smile Folks wonder what it means It’s been written in the text books And envisioned in some dreams Nat King Cole crooned a song About Mona Lisa’s smile Folks have wondered curiously And studied her awhile Did she smile because of love? That wistful little grin A thought perhaps in her mind As she remembered him? Did her face appear in a dream Her talented artist had one night? Or was it, in fact, the face of the man Who sketched his own mirrored sight? Of course no one will ever know The true story of the smile But it’s great fun, don’t you think? For she truly could beguile!
