Don't Cry for Me Argentina [From Evita] by Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

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 will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines it's 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

Don't cry for me Argentina
