"You Must Love Me" - OST, Evita, 1996




"YOU MUST LOVE ME"


Where do we go from here?
This isn't where we intended to be
We had it all, you believed in me
I believed in you

Certainties disappear
What do we do for our dream to survive?
How do we keep all our passions alive,
As we used to do?

[Bridge:]

Deep in my heart I'm concealing
Things that I'm longing to say
Scared to confess what I'm feeling
Frightened you'll slip away

[Chorus:]

You must love me
You must love me

Why are you at my side?
How can I be any use to you now?
Give me a chance and I'll let you see how
Nothing has changed

[bridge]
[chorus]

You must love me

Lyrics: Tim Rice

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber

Performed by Madonna

Winner of Academy Award for Best Original Song from the movie "Evita"

"Notably, the song can be interpreted on three separate levels: First, the literal level of Eva Perón's discovery that her husband Juan Perón has actually loved her all along and not merely seen her as a political prop. Second, as a song of reconciliation between the lyricist and composer who had been estranged for many years. Third, as a song of apprehension and hope sung by Madonna to her then-unborn daughter (Lourdes -redmark)." - en.wikipedia.org
