Candle in the wind~ Lyrics

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



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 our 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 you footsteps will always fall here

Along england’s greenest hills

Your candle’s burned out long before

Your legend ever will
