Newton-John Olivia - Don't Cry For Me Argentina Lyrics

[from the opera "Evita"]

It won't be easy, you'll think it's 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'll see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the night, at sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at hill
Lookin' out of the window, stayin' out of the sun
So I chose freedom, running 'round, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all, I never expected it to

Chorus:
Don't cry for me Argentina, the truth is, I never left you
All thru 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 seems to the world, they were all I desired
They are illusions, and 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

(chorus)

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
