Don't cry for me Argentina - New York City (Andre Rieu & Susan Erens)

Don't Cry For Me Argentina

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
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 ev'ry word is true.
