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 heave
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 candles 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
Even though we try
The truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express
The joy you've 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 candles 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 yourself Where lives were torn apart
Goodbye England's rose
From the country lost Without your soul
Who missed the wings of your compassion
More than you will 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 candles burned out long before Your legend ever will
Your footsteps will always fall here
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever will.
