Candle in the Wind

Elton John

Goodbye Norma EJean, though I never Aknew you at all
You had the grace to Ehold yourself while those around you Acrawled
They crawled out of the Ewoodwork and they whisperedA into your brain
They sent you on a Etreadmill and they made you change your Aname

Chorus :

And it Bseems to me you lived your life
Like a Ecandle in the Awind
Never Eknowing who to cling to when the Brain set in
And I Awould have liked to've known you but I was C#mjust a kid
Your candle burned out Blong before your Alegend ever Edid

Other verses:

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

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 a young man in the twenty second row
Who sees you as something more than sexual, more than just our Marilyn Monroe
