Lyrics of On This Night Of A Thousand Stars / Eva And Magaldi / Eva Beware Of The City - Original Cast Recording/1979 by Andrew Lloyd Webber,Tim Rice,Patti LuPone,Mark Syers,Mandy Patinkin,Various Artists,Rene Wiegert
Now Eva Peron
Had every disadvantage
You need if you′re gonna succeed
No money, no class
No father, no brightlights
There was nowhere she'd been
At the age of fifteen
As this tango singer found out
A tango singer
Augustin Migaldi
Who has the distinction
Of being the first
Man to be of use
To Eva Duarte
On this night of a thousand stars
Let me take you to heaven′s door
Where the music of love's guitars
Plays forever more
In the glow of those twinkling lights
We shall love through eternity
On this night in a millioin nights
Fly away with me
I never dreamed that a kiss
Could be as sweet as this
Now I know that it can
I used to wander alone
Without a love of my own
I was a desperate man
But all my grief disappear
And all the sorrow I feared
Wasn't there anymore
On that magical day
When you first came my way
Mi amore
On this night...
On this night...
On this night of a thousand stars
Let me take you to heaven′s door
Where the music of love′s guitar
Plays forever more
To think that a man
As famous as you are
Could love a poor little nothing like me
The audience here
Are sitting on their hands
Listen chum face the fact
They don't like your act
But this is Junin
If this were Buenos Aires
I′d have that town at my feet
I never ever meet
Members of the public
They'd tear me apart
I understand their feelings
I wanna be a part of BA, Buenos Aires, Big Apple
I wanna be a part of BA, Buenos Aires, Big Apple
Just listen to that
They′re on to you Migaldi
I'd get out while you can
It′s happened at last
I'm starting to get started
I'm moving out with my man
Now Eva don′t get carried away
Monotony pased
Suburbia departed
Who could ever get kicks
In the back of the Shticks
Don′t hear words that I didn't say
(What′s that, you desert the girl you love)
The girl I love?
What are you talking about?
(She really brightened up your out of town engagement.
She gave you all she had, she wasn't in your contract
You must be quite releived that no one′s told the papers
So far!)
I wanna be a part of BA, Buenos Aires, Big Apple
Would I have done what I did
If I hadn't thought
If I hadn′t known
We would stay together
Seems to me there's no point in resisting
She's made up her mind you′ve no choice
Why don′t you be the man who discovered her
You'll never be remembered for your voice
The city can be paradise
For those who have the cash
The class and the connection
Are what you need to make a splash
The likes of you get swept up
In the morning with the trash
If you were rich or middle class
Screw the middle classes
I will never except them
And they will never deny me anything again
My father′s other family were middle class
And we were kept out of sight
Hidden from view at his funeral
If these are the people of Buenos Aires
I welcome the chance to shine in their city
Do all your one-night-stands
Give you this trouble
Eva beware of the city
It's hungry and cold
Can′t be controlled
It is mad
Those who are fools
Are swallowed up whole
And those who are not,
Become what they should not
Become changed, in short
They go bad
Bad is good for me, I'm bored
So clean and so ignored
I′ve only been predictable, respectible
Birds fly out of here, so
Why oh why oh why the hell can't I?
I only want variety, notariety
I wanna be a part of BA, Buenos Aires, Big Apple
(She wants...)
Five years from now I shall come back
And finally say
You'll have your way
Come to town
But you′ll look at me,
With a foreigner′s eyes
The magical city
A younger girl's city
A fantasy long since put down
All you′ve done to me
Was that a young girls fantasy
I played your city games alright
Didn't I
I already know what cooks, how the dirty city feels and looks
I tasted it last night
Didn′t I
I'm gonna be a part of BA, Buenos Aires, Big Apple
(She′s gonna...)
Eva beware your ambition
It's hungry and cold
Cant be controlled
Will run wild
This in a man
Is a danger enough
But you are a woman
Not even a woman
Not very much more than a child
And whatever you say
I'll not steal you away.
Writer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice
