Candle in the wind (England's rose)

2

Goodbye England's rose; may you ever grow in our heartsYou were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart.

3

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.

4

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.

5

En je voetstappen zullen altijd afdalen hierlangs Englands groenste heuvels;

And your footsteps will always fall here, along England's greenest hills,

6

your candle's burned out long before your legend ever will.

7

Loveliness we've lost, these empty days without your smile.

8

This torch we'll always carry for our nation's golden child.

9

And even though we try, the truth brings us to tears, all our words cannot express the joy you brought us through the years.

10

And it seems to me you lived your liveLike a candle in the wind;Never fading whith the sunsetWhen the rain set in.

11

And your footsteps will always fall here,Along England's greenest hills,

12

Your candle's burned out long beforeYour legend ever will.

13

Goodbye England's roseMay you ever grow in our hearts.You were the grace that placed itselfWhere lives were torn apart.

14

Goodbye England's Rose,From a country lost without your soul,

Who'll miss the wings of your compassionMore than you'll ever know.

15

And it seems to me you lived your liveLike a candle in the wind,Never fading whith the sunsetWhen the rain set in.

16

And your footsteps will always fall here,Along England's greenest hills,

17

Your candle's burned out long beforeYour legend ever will.

18

.

And your footsteps will always fall here,Along England's greenest hills,

19

Your candle's burned out long beforeYour legend ever will.

Lena.
