nat "king" cole - mona lisa / too young (live at the blue note chicago) lyrics

[spoken intro]
thank you very much, this time we have a request for a couple of tunes we feel quite close to
because they sorta brought a little attention in our direction
i’d like to make a medley of them if you don’t mind
the first one goes somewhat like this

[part i: “mona lisa”]

[verse]
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?

[part ii: “too young”]

[verse]
they try to tell us we’re too young
too young to really be in love
they say that love’s a word
a word we’ve only heard
but can’t begin to know the meaning of
and yet we’re not too young to know
this love will last, though years may go
and then some day, they may recall
we were not too young at all
[outro]
thank you
