Elton John Lyrics
Candle In The Wind (Princess Diana Tribute) Goodbye England’s roseMay you ever grow in our heartsYou were the grace that placed itselfWhere lives were torn apartYou called out to our countryAnd you whispered to those in painNow you belong to heaven
And the stars spell out your name
And it seems to me you lived your lifeLike a candle in the windNever fading with the sunsetWhen the rain set inAnd your footsteps will always fall hereAlong England’s greenest hillsYour candle’s burned out long before
Your legend ever will
Loveliness we’ve lostThese empty days without your smileThis torch we’ll always carryFor our nation’s golden childAnd even though we tryThe truth brings us to tearsAll our words cannot express
The joy you brought us through the years
And it seems to me you lived your lifeLike a candle in the windNever fading with the sunsetWhen the rain set inAnd your footsteps will always fall hereAlong England’s greenest hillsYour candle’s burned our long before
Your legend ever will
Goodbye England’s roseMay you ever grow in our heartsYou were the grace that placed itselfWhere lives were torn apartGoodbye England’s roseFrom a country lost without your soulWho’ll miss the wings of your compassion
More than you’ll ever know
And it seems to me you lived your lifeLike a candle in the windNever fading with the sunsetWhen the rain set inAnd you footsteps will always fall hereAlong England’s greenest hillsYour candle’s burned out long before
Your legend ever will
