Don`t Cry For Me Argentina Lyrics

EVA

 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

 At sixes and sevens with you

 

 I had to let it happen, I had to change

 Couldn't stay all my life down at heel

 Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun

 So I chose freedom

 Running 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......

 

 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

 

 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

 

 (The CROWD is ecstatically enthusiastic; EVA goes

 inside from the balcony)

 

 Just listen to that! The voice of Argentina! We are

         adored! We are loved!

 

 OFFICER

 Statesmanship is more than entertaining peasants

 

 EVA

 We shall see, little man

 

 CROWD

 Evita Peron! La Santa Peronista! (Repeated)

 

 (EVA goes back onto the balcony)
