Candle in the Wind

By Elton John; Lyrics by and re-written by Bernie Taupin.
Goodbye England's rose;
may you ever grow in our hearts.
may you ever grow in our hearts.
You were the grace that placed
itself
where lives were torn apart.
where lives were torn apart.
You called out to our country,
and you whispered to those in pain.
and you whispered to those in pain.
Now you belong to heaven,
and the stars spell out your name.
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.
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.
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.
these empty days without your smile.
This torch we'll always carry
for our nation's golden child.
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,the truth brings us to tears;
all our words cannot express
the joy you brought us through the years.
from a country lost without your soul,
who'll miss the wings of your compassion
more than you'll ever know.
