Don't Cry for Me Argentina

Lyricist: Tim Rice     Composer: Andrew Lloyd Webber

Don't cry for me, Argentina

It won't be easy

You will think it strange

When I try to explain how I feel

that I still want 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

And sixes and sevens with you


I had to let it happen

I had to change

Couldn't stay all my life down to heels

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 are not the solutions

They promise 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 is nothing more I can think of say to you

But all you have to do

Is look at me to know that every word is true........
