Elton John Lyrics
Candle In The Wind Goodbye Norma JeanThough I never knew you at allYou had the grace to hold yourselfWhile those around you crawledThey crawled out of the woodworkAnd they whispered into your brainThey set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name
And it seems to me you lived your lifeLike a candle in the windNever knowing who to cling toWhen the rain set inAnd I would have liked to have known youBut I was just a kidYour candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Loneliness was toughThe toughest role you ever playedHollywood created a superstarAnd pain was the price you paidEven when you diedOh the press still hounded youAll the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
Goodbye Norma JeanFrom the young man in the 22nd rowWho sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe
