Goodbye Norma Jean Though I never knew you at all You had the grace to hold yourself While those around you crawled They crawled out of the woodwork And they whispered into your brain They set you on a treadmill And they made you change your name And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never knowing who to cling to When the rain set in And I would have liked to have known you But I was just a kid The candle burned out long before Your legend ever did Loneliness was tough The toughest role you ever played Hollywood created a superstar And pain was the price you paid Even when you died Oh the press still hounded you All the papers had to say Was that Marilyn was found in the nude And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never knowing who to cling to When the rain set in Well I would have liked to have known you But I was just a kid The candle burned out long before Your legend ever did Goodbye Norma Jean Though I never knew you at all Goodbye Norma Jean >From the young man in the 22nd row Who sees you as something as more than sexual More than just Marilyn Monroe And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never knowing who to cling to When the rain set in Well I would have liked to have known you But I was just a kid The candle burned out long before Your legend ever did Goodbye Norma Jean Goodbye Norma Jean Goodbye Goodbye Norma Jean (c) 1973 Dick James Music Limited |
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've 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've 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 yourself 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 will ever know, And it seems to me, you've 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. |
