Madonna Amp Antonio Banderas Lament Lyrics

Lament Lyrics

(Eva:)



 The choice was mine, and mine completely



 I could have any prize that I desired



 I could burn with the splendor of the brightest fire



 Or else, or else I could choose time



 



 Remember I was very young then



 And a year was forever and a day



 So what use could fifty, sixty, seventy be?



 I saw the lights, and I was on my way



 



 And how I lived, how they shone



 But how soon the lights were gone



 



 (Che:)



 The choice was yours and noone else's



 You can cry for a body in despair



 Hang your head because she is no longer there



 To shine, to dazzle, or betray



 How she lived, how she shone



 But how soon the lights were gone



 



 (Embalmers:)



 Eyes, hair, face, image



 All must be preserved



 Still life displayed forever



 No less than she deserved.
