Candle In The Wind Lyrics - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 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 candle's burned out long before 

Your legend ever will
