There was this little shop of treasures
Down where the river meets the sea
It was there that I first saw her
She was staring back at me
And the moment that I saw her
I knew it instantly
The girl there in the painting
She had once belonged to me

There was something so familiar
Only I could recognize
A warm seductive smile
And the bluest angel eyes
And I knew I had to find her
Wherever she might be
I will search the world over
Till she’s back again with me

The girl in the painting
The Mona Lisa of my dreams
I can’t stop thinking ‘bout her
Just as crazy as it seems
And I know that while I’m looking
She is thinking about me
True love can’t be denied
When a love is meant to be
I know one day I’ll find her
I won’t rest until I do
She is somewhere out there waiting
And is searching for me too
And on the day I find her
Be it chance or destiny
All the angels will be singing
Of a love that’s meant to be

The girl in the painting
The Mona Lisa of my dreams
I can’t stop thinking ‘bout her
Just as crazy as it seems
And I know that while I’m looking
She is thinking about me
True love can’t be denied
When a love is meant to be

There was this little shop of treasures
Down where the river meets the sea
It was there that I first saw her
She was staring back at me …
