Images And Words this week is thanks to Anders,
The Year I was Born.
The year I was born there was a very popular song playing on the old radiogram turntable by The Great Nat King Cole.
Maybe you know it and can sing it too?
Mona Lisa.
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?

I don't know it but I like his songs. ciao Millie
ReplyDeleteOne of those songs that mum liked.
ReplyDeleteHow well I remember the song....Anyone lucky enough to grow up in the 50's/60's knows life seemed simpler and safer then!
ReplyDeletewonderful presentation, Milli!
thanks for dropping by
Funny but last night I was hearing a commercial in the back ground of oldies and moldies. I had to laugh, cause I knew the words to all of the songs. Sheesh! What Collectibles we are.
ReplyDeleteOh...Milli Lisa is so pretty! Are you real? :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I hear this lovely song. So sweetly melancholic.

ReplyDeleteIt is my humble attempt to become a Mona Lisa Lookalike Lyn.

He is an icon Keith. So many hit songs to his name.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a very fondly remembered song for many people Fatos.
ReplyDeleteLOL yes we are Randall. We collect memories and songs from our beginning to our end.
ReplyDeleteAn absolute truth Linda. We children were gone for hours playing in the scrub or riding our bikes and no one had ever worry about our well being.
ReplyDeleteA sad indictment for today's world is that we can not trust easily the people around us.
My mum liked it too Pat.
ReplyDeleteI agree Anders both are iconic.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you enjoyed it Nico.
ReplyDeleteTrue Belita as with many of the oldies.
