Goodbye England's Rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace
that places it self
Where lives were torn a part
You called out to our country
And you whistered
to those in pain
now you belong to heaven
And the star spell out your name
And it seems to me
you lived your life
Like the 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
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 the 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 places it self
Where lives were torn a part
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 the 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...
