Lyrics Elton John – Candle In The Wind 1997

Goodbye England’s Rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart

Chorus:
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
This torch will 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’ve brought us through the years

Chorus

Goodbye England’s Rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart

Chorus

And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England’s greenest hills
Your candle’s burned out long before
Your legend ever will
