Candle In The Wind '97 by Elton John

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 candle's burned out long before

Your legend ever will

Loveliness we've lost
Those 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 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 candle's 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 itself
Where lives were torn apart

Goodbye England's rose
From a country lost without your soul
Who'll miss the wings of your compassion
More than you'll 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 candle's burned out long before

Your legend ever will
