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.
