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
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
And your footsteps
will always fall here
along England's
greenest hills
Your candle's burned
out long before
your legend ever will
