Elton John - Candle in the Wind 1997 (Princess Diana)

22

Goodbye England's rose

May you ever grow in our hearts

You were the grace that placed itself

Where lives were torn apart

You called out to our country

And you whispered to those in pain

Now you belong to heaven

And the stars spell out your name

And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind

Never fading with the sunset

When the rain set in

And your footsteps will always fall here

Along England's greenest hills

Your candles burned out long before

Your legend ever will

Loveliness we've lost

These empty days without your smile

This torch we'll always carry

For our nation's golden child

Even though we try

The truth brings us to tears

All our words cannot express

The joy you've brought us through the years

And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind

Never fading with the sunset

When the rain set in

And your footsteps will always fall here

Along England's greenest hills

Your candles burned out long before

Your legend ever will

Goodbye England's rose

May you ever grow in our hearts

You were the grace that placed yourself

Where lives were torn apart

Goodbye England's rose

From the country lost

Without your soul who missed the wings of your compassion

More than you will ever know

And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind

Never fading with the sunset

When the rain set in

And your footsteps will always fall here

Along England's greenest hills

Your candles burned out long before

Your legend ever will

Your footsteps will always fall here

Along England's greenest hills

Your candle burned out long before your legend ever will
