Judy Collins Don't Cry for Me Argentina song lyrics

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 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 seemed to the world, they were all I desired

They are illusions, they're 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 to 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
