Goodbye England's rose br May you ever grow in our hearts br You were the grace that placed itself br Where lives were torn apart br You called out to our country br And you whispered to those in pain br Now you belong to heaven br And the stars spell out your name br And it seems to me you lived your life br Like a candle in the wind br Never fading with the sunset br When the rain set in br And your footsteps will always fall here br Along England's greenest hills br Your candle's burned out long before br Your legend ever will br Loveliness we've lost br These empty days without your smile br This torch we'll always carry br For our nation's golden child br And even though we try br The truth brings us to tears br All our words cannot express br The joy you brought us through the years br And it seems to me you lived your life br Like a candle in the wind br Never fading with the sunset br When the rain set in br And your footsteps will always fall here br Along England's greenest hills br Your candle's burned our long before br Your legend ever will br Goodbye England's rose br May you ever grow in our hearts br You were the grace that placed itself br Where lives were torn apart br Goodbye England's rose br From a country lost without your soul br Who'll miss the wings of your compassion br More than you'll ever know br And it seems to me you lived your life br Like a candle in the wind br Never fading with the sunset br When the rain set in br And you footsteps will always fall here br Along England's greenest hills br Your candle's burned out long before br Your legend ever will
