Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile

Mona Lisa lost her smile The painter's hands are trembling now And if she's out there running wild It's just because I taught her how The masterpiece that we had planned Is laying shattered on the ground Mona Lisa lost her smile And the painter's hands are trembling now And the eyes that used to burn for me Now they no longer look my way And the love that used to be Why, it just got lost in yesterday And if she seems cold to the touch Well, there used to burn a flame I gave too little, took too much Till I erased the painter's name Mona Lisa lost her smile The painter's hands are trembling now And if she's out there running wild It's just because I taught her how The masterpiece that we had planned Is laying shattered on the ground Mona Lisa lost her smile And the painter's hands are trembling now Mona Lisa lost her smile And the painter's hands are trembling now And if she's out there running wild It's just because I taught her how And the masterpiece that we had planned It's laying shattered on the ground Mona Lisa lost her smile And the painter's hands are trembling now --- Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile - David Allan Coe
