* Verse 1 Goodbye, England's rose. May you ever grow in our hearts. You were the grace that placed yourself Where lives were torn art. 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;
* Chorus 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.
* 3-bar break
* Verse 2 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 tried, The truth brings us to tears. All our words can not express The joy you've brought us through the years.
* Repeat chorus * 3-bar break
* Verse 3 Goodbye, England's rose. May you ever grow in our hearts. You were the grace that placed yourself Where lives were torn art. Goodbye, England's rose From a country lost without your soul Who missed the wings of your compassion More than you will ever know.
* Repeat chorus
* Coda Your foosteps will always fall here 'Long England's greenest hills. Your candles burned out long before Your legend ever will. *******************************************
