Goodbye England's roseMay you ever grow in our heartsYou were the grace that placed itselfWhere lives were torn apart
You called out to our countryAnd you whispered to those in pain
Now you belong to heavenAnd the stars spell out your name
And it seems to me you lived your lifeLike a candle in the windNever fading with the sunsetWhen the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall hereAlong England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long beforeYour legend ever will
Loveliness we've lostThese empty days without your smileThis torch we'll always carryFor our nation's golden child
And even though we try - The truth brings us to tearsAll our words cannot expressThe joy you brought us through the years
And it seems to me you lived your lifeLike a candle in the windNever fading with the sunsetWhen the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall hereAlong England's greenest hillsYour candle's burned out long beforeYour legend ever will
Goodbye England's roseMay you ever grow in our heartsYou were the grace that placed itselfWhere lives were torn apart
Goodbye England's roseFrom a country lost without your soulWho'll miss the wings of your compassionMore than you'll ever know
And it seems to me you lived your lifeLike a candle in the windNever fading with the sunsetWhen the rain set in
And you footsteps will always fall hereAlong England's greenest hillsYour candle's burned out long beforeYour legend ever will
