Elton John - Candle In The Wind (Princess Diana Tribute) Lyrics

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 candles burned out long before 
Your legend ever will 

Loveliness we've lost 
These empty days without your smile 
This torch 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've brought us through 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 candles 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 yourself 
Where lives were torn apart 

Goodbye England's rose 
From the country lost 
Without your soul who missed the wings of your compassion 
More than you will 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 candles burned out long before 
Your legend ever will 

Your footsteps will always fall here
Along England's greenest hills

Your candle burned out long before your legend ever will
