DON'T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA

DON'T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA

( Shirley Bassey )


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 through the nine
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 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
Although my wild day 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 seems to the world they were all I desired

They are illusions, then might it solution they promised to be
The answers were here all the time
I love you and hope you love me


( Leonora )
