|
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,
|
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.
|
And 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 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
|
|
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.
|
|
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
|
