Candle in the Wind

Candle in the Wind - Lawrence Burkey

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

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 always carry for our nation's golden child

Even though you try the truth brings us to tears

All our words cannot express 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 our 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
