Nat King Cole - "Mona Lisa"


Eight weeks as #1 on the charts in 1950.

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?
