A
TRIBUTE TO
Diana, Princess
of Wales
1 July 1961 - 31 August 1997
CANDLE IN
THE WIND
(Goodbye England's Rose
Version)
Sung by ELTON JOHN
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 sets in.
And your footsteps will always fall here,
along England's greenest hills; your candle's burned out long
before your legend never 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, 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 sets in.
And your footsteps will always fall here,
along England's greenest hills;
your candle's burned out long before your
legend never will.
