GGoodbye England’s rose, may you everCgrow in our hearts.
You were the grace thatGplaced itself where lives were tornCapart.
You called out to ourGcountry, and you whispered toCthose in pain.
Now you belong toGheaven, and the stars spell out yourCname.

R: And itDseems to me you lived your life like aGcandle in theCwind.

NeverGfading with the sunset when theDrain set in.

And yourCfootsteps will always fall here alongEmEngland’s greenest
hills.
GYour candle burned outDlong before, yourClegend 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.
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 will ever know.

And itDseems to me you lived your life like aGcandle in theCwind.

NeverGfading with the sunset when theDrain set in.

And yourCfootsteps will always fall here alongEmEngland’s greenest
hills.

GYour candle burned outDlong before, yourClegend ever will.

CAnd your footsteps will alwaysEmfall here along England’s
greenest hills.

GYour candle burned outDlong before, yourClegend ever will.
