  • Now there are men who make history
    There are men who change the world
    And there are men like me
    That simply find the right girl

    In that very moment, it all became clear
    What I'm meant to do, the reason I'm here
    Now every night I thank the Lord I found ya
    Every time I put my arms around ya

    I feel, like the frame
    That gets to hold the Mona Lisa
    And I don't care
    If that's all I'll ever be

    It never fails, we walk in the room
    Nobody sees me, they're all looking at you
    I disappear, but that's fine with me
    I feel the same way, you're all I can see

    They've written books about Da Vinci's muse
    I know it wasn't, but it shoulda been you

    'Cause I feel, like the frame
    That gets to hold the Mona Lisa
    And I don't care
    If that's all I'll ever be

    Why don't we run off to Paris while we're still young
    We can drink a little wine, have a little fun
    I can tell you I love you, in a foreign tongue
    We can work on our French, in more ways than one
    I can take your hand, and we can walk in the Louvre
    I can show 'em real beauty, let 'em get a load of you

    'Cause I feel, like the frame
    That gets to hold the Mona Lisa
    And I don't care
    If that's all I'll ever do

    I feel, like the frame
    That gets to hold the Mona Lisa
    And I don't care
    If that's all I'll ever do Writer/s: BRAD PAISLEY, CHRIS DUBOIS
