Candle In The Wind Lyrics - American Idol

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 candle's 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 candle's burned our 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 candle's burned out long before your legend ever will
