Evita Soundtrack On This Night Of A Thousand Stars Lyrics

On This Night Of A Thousand Stars Lyrics

(Flashback to 1934 and to a nightclub in Junin, EVA's

 home town. EVA DUARTE is fifteen. The cabaret

 is nearly over. MAGALDI is singing with great gusto.)

 

 CHE

 Now Eva Peron had every disadvantage you need if

 You're going to succeed. No money, no class, no father,

 No bright lights--there was nowhere she'd been at the age

 Of fifteen, as this tango singer found out.

 Agustin Magaldi--who has the distinction of being the

 First man to be of use to Eva Duarte.

 

 MAGALDI (The final song of his act)

 On this night of a thousand stars

 Let me take you to heaven's door

 Where the music of love's guitars

 Plays for evermore!

 

 In the glow of those twinkling lights

 We shall love through eternity

 On this night in a million nights

 Fly away with me!

 

 I never dreamed that a kiss could be as sweet as this

         --now I know that it can

 I used to wander alone without a love of my own

         I was a desperate man

 But all my grief disappeared and all the sorrow I feared

         Wasn't there anymore

 On that magical day when you first came my way

         Mi Amor!

 

 On this night...

 On this night...

 On this night of a thousand stars

 Let me take you to heaven's door

 Where the music of love's guitars

 Plays for evermore!
