"Puff, the Magic Dragon" (or just "Puff") is a song written by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary from a poem by Leonard Lipton. It was made popular by Peter, Paul and Mary in a 1962 recording released in January 1963. Lipton wrote a poem about a dragon in 1959, and when Yarrow found it, he wrote the lyrics to "Puff" based on the poem. After the song was released, Yarrow searched for Lipton to give him credit for the song. more »

I wake up each morning
And lie there in bed
And just in the silence
Singing songs in my head
Cause last night I was dreaming
And this much is true
Whenever I'm dreaming
It's all about you

And I will start thinking
And myself sinking
When I picture your smile
I have for a while
I wish I could move on
And trust me I've tried
But to say I'm not aching
Would be telling a lie

I can't get you
Out of my mind
Trust me I've tried
All the damn time

You're my Mona Lisa
And damn your sweet smile
It's like a mystery
And you know it drives me wild

So I'm waiting in Paris
With love in my heart
By the old Trocadéro
And that's just the start
I'd stand in the cue
I'm waiting in line
And I hear all the whispers
Of beauty divine

So I'd stand in the hall for an hour
Not complaining
To take in your beauty
A picturesque painting
But you're stuck behind glass
Waiting to be freed
And I just start to pray
Lord can't she be with me

I can't get you
Out of my mind
Trust me I've tried
All the damn time

You're my Mona Lisa
And damn your sweet smile
It's like a mystery
And you know it drives me wild

And it's five until close
And I'm holding back tears
Cause how can I go
I've been waiting for years
And the art that's surrounding
Although precious and fine
Can't compare to you dear
So please be mine

I can't get you
Out of my mind
Trust me I've tried
All the damn time

You're my Mona Lisa
And damn your sweet smile
It's like a mystery
And you know it drives me wild
