Don't Cry For Me Argentina Lyrics

This 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 will see is a girl you once knew,
although she's dressed up to the nines -
for 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 choose freedom.
Running around, trying everything new.
But nothing impressed me at all.
I never expected it too.

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 appeared, 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.
