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 starts spell out your name

And it seems to me you lived your life

Like the candle in the wind

Never fading with the sunset

When the rain set in

And you 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 touch we'll always carry

For our nation 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

Good bye England's rose

From a country lost without your soul

Who'll miss the wings of your campassion

More than you'll ever know
