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 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
From
a country lost without your soul
Who'll
miss the wings of your compassion
More
than you'll ever know
