Couplet 1

G C
Goodbye England's rose, may you ever grow in our hearts
C G C
You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart
G C
You called out to our country, and you whispered to those in pain.
G C
Now you belong to heaven, and the stars spell out your name.

Refrein

D E
And it seems to me you lived your life
G C
Like a candle in the wind
G D
Never fading with the sunset when the rain set in
C E
And your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills
G D C
Your candles burned out lng before your legend ever will.

Couplet
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.

Refrein
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.

Couplet
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.

Refrein
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.
