Don't Cry for Me Argentina (From "Evita")

Don't Cry for Me Argentina - Soundtrack

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

But I chose freedom

Running around trying everything new

But nothing impressed me at all

I never expected it to

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 are 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

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

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
