The time I shared with you will always be, and when I'm gone, still carry on. Don't cry for me, no one is the blame, my death was meant to be, don't carry guilt for shame, the reason why I came soon you will see.
Don't cry for me, don't shed a tear. The t me I shared with you will always be, and when I'm gone still carry on, don't cry for me. Don't cry when life is not the joy it should be, when life's unfair, soon time will lend it's course appoint and you will be re'.varded and all the world will see. Don't cry for me, don't shed a tear. The time I shared with you will always be and when I'm gone, life carries on. Don't cry for me, don't cry
for me.
