She Is A Diamond - Joss Ackland, Original London Cast Of Evita, Andrew Lloyd Webber

But on the other hand, she’s all they have

She’s a diamond in their dull gray lives

And that’s the hardest kind of stone

It usually survives

And when you think about it, can you recall

The last time they loved anyone at all?

She’s not a bauble you can brush aside

She’s been out doing what we just talked about, example

Gave us back our businesses, got the English out

And when you think about it, well why not do

One or two of the things we promised to?

But on the other hand, she’s slowing down

She’s lost a little of that magic drive

But I would not advise those critics present to derive

Any satisfaction from her fading star

She’s the one who’s kept us where we are

She’s the one who’s kept you where you are
