Canção - Elton John

Princesa Diana Aqui também está a canção que Elton John cantou para Diana em seu ritual de despedida. Em 1973, a linha inicial foi "Goodbye, Norma Jean." Em 1997, é "Goodbye, England's rose." Outro tributo para outro ícone...


        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.
