(Lasse Holm ? Monica Forsberg) Mariann Music AB Främling, vad döljer do för mig I dina mörka ögon En svag nyans av ljus nånstans men ändå En främling, så känner jag för dig Jag ber dig låt mig få veta Vem vill do vara kan do förklara det för mig? Som Mona Lisa har sitt leende Så gömmer också do en hemlighet Stjärnor jag ser dom vill gärna ta ner nå'n till dig Där bortom himlen finns en evighet Om do vill upptäcka den här med mig Ta första stegen och visa mig vägen I kväll En känsla och jag litar på den Se'n blir vår kärlek aldrig främmande igen Natten finns till för dig och mig Glöm det som är omkring oss Låt mig få komma låt mig få vara nära dig Som Mona Lisa har sitt leende...
