Patti LuPone - On This Night of a Thousand Stars/Eva and Magaldi lyrics

[CHÉ] Now Eva Perón had every disadvantage You need if you're gonna succeed No money, no cla**, no father, no bright lights There was nowhere she'd been at the age of fifteen As this tango singer found out, a tango singer Agustín Magaldi! Who has the distinction of being the first man to be of use To Eva Duarte [MAGALDI] On this night of a thousand stars Let me take you to heaven's door Where the music of love's guitars Plays forevermore In the glow of the twinkling lights We shall love through eternity On this night in a million nights Fly away with me I never dreamed that a kiss Could be as sweet as this But now I know that it can I used to wander alone Without a love of my own I was a desperate man But all the grief disappeared And all the sorrow I feared Wasn't there anymore On that magical day When you first came by, mi amor 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 forevermore [EVA] To think that a man as famous as you are Could love a poor little nothing like me [MAGALDI] The audience here are extremely heavy going [CHÉ] Listen chump face the fact They don't like your act [MAGALDI] But this is Junin If this were Buenos Aires I'd have this town at my feet I never ever meet members of the public They tear me apart [CHÉ] I understand their feelings [EVA] I wanna be a part of B.A Buenos Aires, big apple I wanna be a part of B.A Buenos Aires, big apple [CHÉ] Just listen to that They're on to you, Magaldi I'd get out while you can [EVA] It's happened at last, I'm starting to get started I'm moving out with my man [MAGALDI] Now Eva don't get carried away [EVA] Monotony pa**ed, suburbia departed Who could ever get kicks, in the back of the sticks [MAGALDI] Don't hear words that I didn't say [ENSEMBLE] What's that? You'd desert the girl you love? [MAGALDI] The girl I love? What are you talking about? [ENSEMBLE] 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 relieved That no one's told the papers So far! [EVA] I wanna be a part of B.A 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 [CHÉ] 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 [MAGALDI] The city can be paradise For those who have the cash The cla** and the connections What you need to make a splash The like of you get swept up In the morning with the trash If you were rich or middle cla** [EVA] Screw the middle cla**es I will never accept them And they will never deny me anything again My father's other family were middle cla** 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 [CHÉ] Do all your one night stands give you this trouble?
