Lament Lyrics - Evita - Motion Picture Music Soundtrack (part 2) - Madonna

[Eva:] 

The choice was mine, and mine completely 

I could have any prize that I desired 

I could burn with the splendor of the brightest fire 

Or else, or else I could choose time 

Remember I was very young then 

And a year was forever and a day 

So what use could fifty, sixty, seventy be? 

I saw the lights, and I was on my way

And how I lived, how they shone 

But how soon the lights were gone 

[Che:] 

The choice was yours and noone else's 

You can cry for a body in despair 

Hang your head because she is no longer there 

To shine, to dazzle, or betray 

How she lived, how she shone 

But how soon the lights were gone

[Embalmers:] 

Eyes, hair, face, image 

All must be preserved 

Still life displayed forever 

No less than she deserved.
