Evita vol. 2 movie - Lament lyrics

rate me

Song by Madonna and Antonio Banderas<br /><br>

[Eva:]<br>

The choice was mine, and mine completely<br>

I could have any prize that I desired<br>

I could burn with the splendor of the brightest fire<br>

Or else, or else I could choose time<br>

<br>

Remember I was very young then<br>

And a year was forever and a day<br>

So what use could fifty, sixty, seventy be?<br>

I saw the lights, and I was on my way<br>

<br>

And how I lived, how they shone<br>

But how soon the lights were gone<br>

<br>

[Che:]<br>

The choice was yours and noone else's<br>

You can cry for a body in despair<br>

Hang your head because she is no longer there<br>

To shine, to dazzle, or betray<br>

How she lived, how she shone<br>

But how soon the lights were gone<br>

<br>

[Embalmers:]<br>

Eyes, hair, face, image<br>

All must be preserved<br>

Still life displayed forever<br>

No less than she deserved.<br>

<br>
