A Tribute To Princess Diana
(The Lovely England's Rose)
Elton John - Candle In The
Wind (Goodbye England's Rose version)
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.
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.'
