เพลง Candle In The Wind

Elton John - Candle In The Wind

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 ,

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.

Your candle burned out long before

your legend ever did.
