Lyrics Mona Lisa Smiled - The Quireboys

Mona Lisa Smiled

It’s never gonna be that easy
When your living duty comes from your heart
Passion was a sound of a problem to some
People from the start
No public display of affection
I can’t be seen to be holding your hand
It scares me to think of the situation
Just where do I stand
It’s the night time that seems to go easy
It’s just the daytime that gives me the blues
And every hour that I sit here alone
Can’t go by too soon
Even Mona Lisa smiled
You can see it by the look in her eyes
Sometimes it’s hard to reason why
We do what we do
Well I signed a letter that I’ll leave you
And you’ll never want from nothing no more
I made you a promise I thought that you wanted
And that’s how it goes
Forgive me if I ain’t too crazy
Of that the star that you want me to sound
Well I’ll walk and I’ll leave ya
I’m sayin' my goodbyes
I know you’ll be fine
It’s the night time that seems to go easy
It’s just the daytime that gives me the blues
And every hour that I sit here alone
Can’t go by too soon
Even Mona Lisa smiled
You can see it by the look in your eyes
Sometimes it’s hard to reason why
We do what we do
And you will always be in my heart
Cause when you left me it tore me apart
I guess I knew right from the start
Mona Lisa was you
Even Mona Lisa smiled
Through those fine painted lines
Sometimes it’s hard to understand why
We do what we do
So let the sunshine come on in
And have a brand new day begin
Oh Mona Lisa, you can start again
It’s only for you
Oh Mona Lisa
I wanna see you smile
