Candle In The Wind

   Candle In The Wind

        E.John, B.Taupin 
           Elton John

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name

  And it seems to me you lived your life
  Like a candle in the wind
  Never knowing who to cling to
  When the rain set in
  And I would have liked to have known you
  But I was just a kid
  Your candle burned out long before
  Your legend ever did

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

  And it seems to me you lived your life
  Like a candle in the wind
  Never knowing who to cling to
  When the rain set in
  And I would have liked to have known you
  But I was just a kid
  Your candle burned out long before
  Your legend ever did

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe

  And it seems to me you lived your life
  Like a candle in the wind
  Never knowing who to cling to
  When the rain set in
  And I would have liked to have known you
  But I was just a kid
  Your candle burned out long before
  Your legend ever did
