--- Start Of Candle In The Wind Lyrics ---

Goodbye Englands Rose ... may you ever ... grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself .. while 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 Englands greenest hills
Your candles burned out long before ... your legend ever will

BREAK

Loneliness we lost ... those empty days without your smile
This torch will always carry ... for our nations golden child
Even though we tried ... the truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express ... the joy you brought us thru 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 Englands greenest hills
Your candles burned out long before ... your legend ever will

BREAK

Goodbye Englands Rose ... may you ever ... grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself .. while lives were torn apart
Goodbye Englands Rose ... from a country ... lost without your soul
We'll miss the winds of your compassion .... more than you will 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 Englands greenest hills
Your candles burned out long before ... your legend ever will

And your footsteps will always fall here ... along Englands greenest hills
Your candles burned out long before ... your legend ever will
