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
And your footsteps will always fall here,
among 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.
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

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,
among 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 heart
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,
among England's greenest hills
your candle's burned out long before
your legend ever will
your candle's burned out long before
your legend ever will.
