Donna Summer recorded a cover of Don’t Cry For Me Argentina for her shelved 1981 album I’m a Rainbow which eventually was released in 1996 by Mercury Records.
This song was one of ten songs from I’m a Rainbow to be remixed for the “Recovered & Recoloured” version of the album.
[Verse 1]
It won't be easy, you'll think it's strange
When I try to explain how I feel
And 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
[Verse 2]
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
Well, I never expected it to
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
As for fortune and as for fame
Well, I never invited them in
Though it seems to the world they were all I desired
They were illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answers were here all the time
I love you and hope you love me
[Chorus]
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
