Lyrics

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 guitars
Plays for evermore!

Tonight I'm proud to be the people's spokesman
You've given help to those who've lost their homes
But more than that, conclusively shown
That the people should run their affairs on their own
Make sure your leaders understand the people!

Perón! Perón! Perón!
Perón! Perón! Perón!
Perón! Perón! Perón!
Perón! Perón! Perón!

Colonel Perón?

Eva Duarte?
I've heard so much about you

I'm amazed! For I'm only an actress
Nothing to shout about
Simply a girl on the boards

I'm amazed! For I'm only a soldier
One of the thousands
Defending the country he loves

But when you act
The things you do affect us all

Ah, but when you act
You take us away from the squalor of the real world
Are you here on your own?

Yes. Oh yes

So am I
What a fortunate coincidence
Maybe you're my reward for my efforts here tonight
It seems crazy but you must believe
There's nothing calculated, nothing planned
Please forgive me if I seem naïve
I would never want to force your hand
But please understand
I'd be good for you

I don't always rush in like this
Twenty seconds after saying hello
Telling strangers I'm too good to miss
If I'm wrong I hope you'll tell me so
But you really should know
I'd be good for you
I'd be surprisingly good for you

I won't go on if I'm boring you
But do you understand my point of view?
Do you like what you hear, what you see, and would you be
Good for me too?

I'm not talking of a hurried night
A frantic tumble, then a shy goodbye
Creeping home before it gets too light
That's not the reason that I caught your eye
Which has to imply
I'd be good for you
I'd be surprisingly good for you
Please go on—you enthrall me
I can understand you perfectly
And I like what I hear, what I see, and knowing me
I would be good for you too

There is no one, no one at all
Never has been and never will be a lover
Male or female
Who hasn't an eye on
In fact they rely on
Tricks they can try on their partner
They're hoping their lover
Will help them or keep them
Support them, promote them
Don't blame them, you're the same

Hello and goodbye!
I've just unemployed you
You can go back to school
You've had a good run
I'm sure he enjoyed you
Don't act sad or surprised
Let's be friends, civilized
Come on little one!
Don't stand there like a dummy!
The day you knew would arrive
Is here—you'll survive
So move, funny face!

I like your conversation—you've a catchy turn of phrase
You're obviously going through some adolescent phase
Maybe you've got something more than just a pretty face
Maybe not—
