Don't cry for me Argentina

 

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

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

I got chills

They're multiplying

And I'm losing control

'Cause the power you're supplying

It's electrifying!

You better shape up

'Cause I need a man

And my heart is set on you

You better shape up

You better understand

To my heart I must be true

Nothing left

Nothing left for me to do

You're the one that I want

Oo-oo-oo, honey

The one that I want

Oo-oo-oo, honey

The one that I want

Oo-oo-oo, the one I need

Oh, yes, indeed

If you're filled

With affection

You're too shy to convey

Meditate in my direction

Feel your way

I better shape up

'Cause you need a man

I need a man

Who can keep me satisfied

I better shape up

If I'm gonna prove

You better prove

That my faith is justified

Are you sure?

Yes I'm sure down deep inside

Not familiar with that showtune.

I stopped listening to them for 20 years One more night after 4/3/91 was alll. Except for a night in 201 with some dear friends. I know time periods and can ID most songs in two or three notes. My tape collection was 300. I had listened to them all and those cases were a mac daddy tapers trove.

Sometimes you wander.

"Feed the Birds "

Mary Poppins

Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's

The little old bird woman comes

In her own special way to the people she calls,

"Come, buy my bags full of crumbs;

Come feed the little birds,

Show them you care

And you'll be glad if you do

The young ones are hungry

The nests are so bare

All it takes is tuppence from you

Feed the birds, tuppence a bag

Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag

Feed the birds," that's what she cries

While overhead, her birds fill the skies

All around the cathedral the saints and apostles

Look down as she sells her wares

Although you can't see it,

You know they are smiling

Each time someone shows that he cares

Though her words are simple and few

Listen, listen, she's calling to you

"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag

Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag"

For 13 yO with prayers on a ventilator with lacerated liver, spleenectomy, 3 blood transfusions following a horrible accident who can sing this song like an angel. And for the other two one 13 and the other 16, they may heal their broken bones and be out of pain. God bless and carry you through the days to come safely and speedily home from the hospital.
