John, Elton - Candle In The Wind 1997 Lyrics






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

[Chorus:]
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 will 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've brought us through the years

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

    Beautiful song for a beautiful princess she truly was England's rose.

  4. c.... c....

    Just got done watching The Princess Diana documentary on Netflix. It touched me so much that I came looking for the song that Elton John sang at her funeral.
    Wow, my heart is so broken right now for all she went through. How could Prince Charles be so cold to such a beautiful soul. 😭😭
    She was such a beautiful woman inside and out. I grieve for her goodness and for her precious boys that lost such a wonderful mother. What a tragic loss. 😔💔

  5. s.... b....

    By the way, is that a haystack That pillock Elton John has on his fucking head. Dianne Spencer was an overprivileged slut and one with a tiny brain to boot! Fuck her and fuck the Windsors and all the brainwashed royalists the BBC throws at us! Shame on the morons taken in by this shite. Shouldn't be long now before Elizabeth Windsor dies and I can really celebrate the death of one of the UK'S biggest benefit scrounging, tax-avoiding bitches!

  6. s.... b....

    Englands Rose? Piss off days before she was killed the UK press was calling her a whore! UK royalists make me want to puke and so does that overrated pratt singing this oversentimental shite! Look at those wankers lining the streets as if they knew her personally! Roll on the republic, have you listened to the words? England has lost its soul! Get Fucked!

  71. L.... B....

    First of all - It's not really a surprise,that people FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD,today are feeling EXACTLY the same way,how they felt back in 1997th - the day,when Princesses Diane's Funeral,took the place - 22 years ago.. I'm more than 100% sure,that people will still feel this way,another 22 years later... WHO AM I KIDDING...!?!? - ANY number of years later, really..
    Even though she didn't live long enough,to become a queen and be able to rule the Great Britain.. (OR shall I rather say - "THEY" DIDN'T LET HER LIVE long enough,for her to get a chance to rule this country!?) - during that unfairly shortened life,of hers - SHE still managed to become a righteous and beloved queen in hearts of not only British people - but whole worlds,different nation citizen hearts.. She was thinking,speaking and behaving in such manner... Her presence in any way,was naturally Royal.. The pure kindness and love flowing,over everybody's souls,made simply impossible for anyone,to dislike her.. Anyone.. - apart from just few... Few very jealous,evil and hateful souls,who instead of having a good look and then learn,the right way of HOW TO WIN OVER THE HEARTS OF THOSE,LIVING IN YOUR KINGDOM AND HOW EFFORTLESSLY IS POSSIBLE TO GAIN THEIR LOYALTY ALONG TRUST - They just took that one and only,truly unique.. Such crystal clear soul,so rare,that's maybe coming along just.. ONCE IN MILLION YEARS time.. - Simply - Cold blooded and completely remorselessly destroyed it.. Scared of someone being better and loved more,than they would ever be,troughout their whole lives - Not only,in true act of cowardice,they've gotten rid of Princess Diane.. But also,cowardly,hiding behind palace walls,while world is grieving -remaining silent,refusing to explain all those clues left behind,connecting Dianes "family" to this "so called tragedy"..
    Evidence was there,at all times..
    But cowards will always be and stay cowards.. Unable to prove neither.. - Nor their innocence,nor stand up and looking in the eyes of the nation - admit their actions..
    Short life,but long lived IN PEOPLE'S HEARTS THE ONE THAT WAS,STILL IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE - TRULY REMEMBERED AND LOVED FOR BEING HERSELF..
    ONE&ONLY ROYAL STATUS CALLING WORTHY FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS - QUEEN DIANE! R.I.P. then..1997... now -2019 and forever ❤😢😙

  72. K.... b....

    God bless Elton John

  73. S.... A....

    And that ladys and gentleman is pure Talent

  74. M.... R....

    Is it me or he just resembles bill gates

  75. S.... F....

  76. R.... ....

    Someone needs to bubble wrap Elton and keep him safe forever . Please never die, Great One.

  77. N.... S....

    Grande Elton omage a Lady Diana indimenticabile grazie

  78. J.... S....

    THE ROYALS KILLED HER

  79. J.... H....

    Princess Diana was an amazing, compassionate Beautiful Woman. The World suffers from the horrific loss of her Beauty. No matter what happened in her personal life, she will forever remain the People's Princess.
    Elton John payed a wonderful tribute to her. Such a class act he is.

  80. r.... b....
