Elton John - Candle In The Wind 1997 Lyrics
Music by elton johnLyrics by bernie taupinPerformed at princess dianas funeral, saturday september 6, 1997.Goodbye englands roseMay you ever grow in our heartsYou were the grace that placed itselfWhere lives were torn apartYou called out to our countryAnd you whispered to those in painNow you belong to heavenAnd the stars spell out your nameAnd it seems to me you lived your lifeLike a candle in the windNever fading with the sunsetWhen the rain set inAnd your footsteps will always fall hereAlong englands greenest hillsYour candles burned out long beforeYour legend ever willLoveliness weve lostThese empty days without your smileThis torch well always carryFor our nations golden childAnd even though we tryThe truth brings us to tearsAll our words cannot expressThe joy you brought us through the yearsAnd it seems to me you lived your lifeLike a candle in the windNever fading with the sunsetWhen the rain set inAnd your footsteps will always fall hereAlong englands greenest hillsYour candles burned our long beforeYour legend ever willGoodbye englands roseMay you ever grow in our heartsYou were the grace that placed itselfWhere lives were torn apartGoodbye englands roseFrom a country lost without your soulWholl miss the wings of your compassionMore than youll ever knowAnd it seems to me you lived your lifeLike a candle in the windNever fading with the sunsetWhen the rain set inAnd you footsteps will always fall hereAlong englands greenest hillsYour candles burned out long beforeYour legend ever will
