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

on this night of a thousand stars

let me take you to heavens door

where the music of love's guitars

plays forever more

in the glow of the twinkling lights

we shall love through eternity

on this night of 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 wonder alone without a love of my own

a desperate man

but all my grief disappeared and the sorrow i feared

wasn't there anymore

on that magical day when you first come my way

mi amor

on this night

on this night

on this night of a thousand stars

let me take you to heavens door

where the music of love's guitars

plays forever more

_______________ Eva and Magaldi_______________

to think that a man as famous as you are

could love a poor little nothing like me

the audience here are extremely heavy going

listen chump face the face, they don't like your act

but this is Hunin

if this was Buenos Aires

i'd have this town at my feet

i never ever meet members of the public

they tear me apart

i understand their feeling

EVA and FAMILY

She wants to be a part of B.A.--Buenos Aires--Big Apple!

CHE

Just listen to that! They're onto 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 past--suburbia departed--who could ever get pics in the back of the sticks?

MAGALDI

Don't hear words that I didn't say

EVA's FAMILY

What's that? You'd desert the girl you love?

MAGALDI

The girl I love? What are you talking about?

EVA's FAMILY

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 want to 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?

CHE

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 class and the connections--what you need to make a splash.

The likes of you get swept up in the morning

with the trash--if you were rich or middle class-

EVA

Screw the middle classes! I will never accept them! and they will never deny me anything again

My father's

Other family were middle class 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 the city

CHE

Do all your one night stands give you this trouble?
