Candle In The Wind 1997

Elton John - Bernie Taupin
Single: Something About The Way You Look Tonight / Candle In The Wind

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
These empty days without your smile
This torch we'll always carry
For our nation's Golden Child

And even though we try
The truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express
The joy you brought us through the years

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 will ever know
