There's a vacant place in this world todaySomeone we love, has gone awayShe was more beautiful than tongue can tellThe Queen of our hearts, this Princess of Wales
Diana, did you see the ocean of flowers as they lay on the groundCould you see all the sad faces as the people gathered 'roundWere you watching from your window up aboveAnd, could you see the great outpouring of loveWere you surprised that the whole world loved you soDid you ever dream we'd all be this heart-broken when you had to goCould you believe the rivers of tears everyone criedWhen the announcement was made that you had diedI know that you were proud if you could seeYour sons as they walked that last mile with quiet dignityAnd the queen bowed her head as you passed byThis brought more tears to already swollen eyesWe were all so moved as Elton John, your dear friendSang your beautiful song,"Candle In The Wind"And didn't you love the sound of the bellsAs they rang for you, beautiful Princess of WalesYour favorite songs were sung by the choirThen, the scripture was read by Tony BlairThis brought words of comfort to all your loved ones thereI'm sure you were touched as your familyRead beautiful tributes to your memoryCould you hear the sobs as you took your last journey todayAnd, did you smile as the crowds threw their bouquetsHundreds of thousands of us watched untill the very endAs the world said good-bye to you, our beautiful friendAlthough most of us you had never even metThe love you've shown, we'll never forgetYou were so kind to the down-trodden, the sick, and even the poorYour touch gave them the courage to endureAnd, you did so much for charityEven though your heart was broken, you never let anyone seeYou're life shouldn't have ended this waySuddenly, there's a vacant place that can never be filled in this world todayYes the world is richer for having known you, and your legacy will never ceaseGood-bye beautiful Princess, and may you forever rest in peaceCopyright 1997
