Candle In the Wind   Elton John

Goodbye Norma Jean though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered into your brain
They set you on a treadmill and they made you change your name.
 

And it seems to me you lived your life like a Candle In The Wind

Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in.

And I would have liked to have known you but I was just a kid

Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did.

Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a super star and pain was the price you paid
Even when you paad, oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say was Marilyn' was found in the nude.
 
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all,
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean, from the young man in the twenty-second row
Who sees you as something more than sexual more than just
Marilyn Monroe.   (Chorus)



England’s Rose                  Changed in memory of Princess Diana of Wales (1961–1997)
 
Goodbye England’s rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives where 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  Chorus

Goodbye England’s rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives where torn apart
Goodbye England’s rose
From a country lost without your soul
Who’ll miss the wings of your compassion
More than you will ever know   Chorus
