Lyrics: Madonna. Evita - Motion Picture Music Soundtrack (Part 2). Lament.

The choice was mine and mine completely
I could've had any prize that I desired
I could've burn with the splendor of the brightest fire
Or else, or else I could choose time

Remember I was very young then
And the year was forever and a day
So what use could fifty, sixty, seventy be?
I saw the lights and I was on my way

And how I lived, how they shone
But how soon the lights were gone
