CANDLE IN THE WIND 1997

Goodbye england rose

May you ever grow in our hearts

You were the grace that place 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 candles burned out long before

Your legend never will

Loveliness we’ve lost

These empty days without your smile

The 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 thet place 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
