Don't Cry For Me, Argentina
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
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
