Lyrics of Candle In The Wind by Eric Donaldson
verse
Goodbye, Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You were 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
chorus
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 like to know you but I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
verse
Goodbye, Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
verse
Goodbye, Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe
chorus
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 like to know 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
Your candle burned out long before your legend...
Writer(s): Bernie Taupin, Elton John
