CARPENTERS - On The Balcony Of The Casa Rosada Dont Cry For Me Argenti Lyrics

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

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 is here all the time

I love you and hope you love me.



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.
