Verse 1:
    Goodbye England's rose
    You are the stuff of true fairytales
    You grace the world with wedding bows
    And all of England-Wales

Chorus:
    Now what it means to me
    That while you lived
    You were a candle in the wind
    Ever goin', ever glowin'
    With a flame that grinned

Verse 1: (continued)
    They crawled out of the woodwork
    To catch a glimpse of your beauty fair
    They showed your face with more conceit
    Than you would ever dare

Chorus: (continued)
    Perhaps the greatest inspiration
    Is what makes the strong winds blow
    A spark has lit a flame ablaze
    And the flames are sure to grow

Verse 2:
    Goodbye England's rose
    Once you had been spoken for
    You gave the world its horror shows
    And then they asked for more
    You suffered through the good times
    You suffered through the -- so very bad
    You took the world upon yourself
    And all the world was glad

Chorus: (with a variation in the last three lines)
    Now what it means to me
    That while you lived
    You were a candle in the wind
    Ever goin', ever glowin'
    With a flame that grinned
    Perhaps the greatest inspiration
    Is searching all we know
    Of a flame that burns more bravely still
    Than legends ever show

Verse 3:
    Goodbye England's rose
    You gave to every man, woman, child
    A chance to feel the love God knows
    Every time you smiled
    You made the small but worthy
    A very high and exalted cause
    You sacrificed your very life
    And garnered no applause

Chorus: (with a variation in the last three lines)
    Now what it means to me
    That while you lived
    You were a candle in the wind
    Ever goin', ever glowin'
    With a flame that grinned
    Perhaps the greatest inspiration
    Is a breath you'd never blow
    It was drawn to England's shore to rest
    Where flowers and acorns grow
