Elton John - Candle In The Wind Lyrics

Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all 
You had the grace to hold yourself 
While those around you crawled 
They crawled out of the woodwork 
And they whispered into your brain 
They set you on the treadmill 
And they made you change your name 

And it seems to me you lived your life 
Like a candle in the wind 
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in 
And I would have liked to have known you 
But I was just a kid 
Your candle burned out long before the legend ever did 

Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played 
Hollywood created a superstar 
And pain was the price you paid 
Even when you died, all the press still hounded you 
All the papers had to say 
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude 

And it seems to me you lived your life 
Like a candle in the wind 
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in 
And I would have liked to have known you 
But I was just a kid 
Your candle burned out long before the legend ever did 

Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all 
You had the grace to hold yourself 
While those around you crawled 
Goodbye Norma Jean, from the young man in the 22nd row 
Who sees you as something more than sexual 
More than just our Marilyn Monroe 

And it seems to me you lived your life 
Like a candle in the wind 
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in 
And I would have liked to have known you 
But I was just a kid 
Your candle burned out long before the legend ever did 

Your candle burned out long before the legend ever did
