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!
