Candle In The Wind
Tribute To Princess Diana

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.

And even though we try,

The truth brings us to tears;

All our words cannot express

The joy you 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 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 candles' burned out long before

Your legend ever will.
