Greatest Song from the Broadway Musical
Evita the Musical - Don't Cry For Me Argentina Lyrics

"Don't Cry For Me Argentina" is a song from the Broadway musical Evita (1979). The music was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by Tim Rice.

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.
