Lyrics Petula Clark

Petula Clark

Don't Cry For Me Argentina

This 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 nines

for 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

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 appeared 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

the truth is I never left you

all through my wild days

my mad existence

I kept my promise,

don't keep your distance

I kept my promise

don't keep your distance
