This is the new version of "Candle in the Wind,"
to be sung by Elton John at the funeral
of Diana, Princess of Wales, on Saturday. 


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.

Here are the lyrics to the special version of "Candle in the Wind"
that
              Elton John is preparing for his friend Princess Diana.
He will sing it at her
              funeral in Westminster Abbey Saturday morning. She is to
be eulogised
              by her brother and two sisters.

                 "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."
