Candle In The Wind - Elton John

I never forget when I first heard this song. My family and I had recentely come to Canada and I heard that Princess Diana was killed in a car crash in France.. I never forget, Paeezeh and her family were at my house and I just turned on the TV, when I heard the news, it was in August. Although I didn't know much about Princess Diana but I learned about her through her biography. Later Elton John sang a song for her, that brought all of us to tears. I still love this song and his performance.

"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 never willLoveliness 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"
