Goodbye England's rose

Candle in the Wind



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 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 .

Loveliness we've lost ; these empty days without your smile .

The tourch we'll always carry for our nation's golden child .

Even though we try , 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 England's greenest hills ; your candle's burned out long before your legend ever will .

Goodbye England's rose ; may you ever grow in our hearts . You were the grace that placed 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'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 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 .
