„Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”
T. Rice
A.L. Webber
from the musical „Evita”
It won’t be easy
You’ll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still, need your love
After all that I’ve done
You won’t believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she’s dressed up, to the nines
and sixes and sevens with you.
I had to let it happen
I had to change
Couldn’t stay all my life down at head
Looking out of the window
Staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Runing around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to.
Don’t cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don’t keep your distance.
And as for fortune and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world
they were all I desired
They are illusions
They’re not the solutions they
promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you, and hope you love me
Don’t cry for me Argentina…
Have I said too much?
There’s nothing more I can think of
To say to you
But all you have to do is look at me
to know
That every word – is true.
