Once lived a man who loved his wife
Her name, Mumtaz Mahal
He shared with her a happy life
He loved Mumtaz Mahal
His 14 children she would bare
The last would leave her lying there
It didn’t seem quite possible
He lost Mumtaz Mahal
And this emperor couldn’t stop his tears
The news confirmed his darkest fears
His childhood love
His lifelong friend
He would never see again
And this emperor couldn’t stop his tears
The news confirmed his darkest fears
His childhood love
His lifelong friend
He would never see again
He couldn’t bare to see her go
Good bye Mumtaz Mahal
There must be someway he could show
How much he loved Mumtaz
He built a final resting place
As stunning as his lost wife's face
A monument to honor her grace
He built the Taj Mahal
(Oh and) Jewels and pools and marble stone
Couldn’t bring his lost wife home
Lovers still remember here
A man’s love for his wife
Jewels and pools and marble stone
Couldn’t bring his lost wife home
Lovers will remember here
A man’s love for his wife
300 hundred years have passed somehow
2 lovers lie together now
Their love withstood the test of time
Still stands the Taj Mahal
