[00:11.31] Goodbye Norma Jean;
[00:12.06] Though I never knew you at all.
[00:14.94] You had the grace to hold yourself
[00:17.31] While those around you crawled.
[00:22.08] They crawled out of the woodwork'
[00:25.26] And they whispered into your brain.
[00:28.20] They set you on the treadmill'
[00:31.14] And they made you change your name.
[00:36.63] And it seems to me you lived your life
[00:39.93] like a candle in the wind:
[00:44.31] Never knowing who to cling to
[00:47.07] when the rain set in.
[00:51.19] And I would have liked to have known you '
[00:56.81] But I was just a kid;
[01:00.88] Your candle burned out long before
[01:02.25] your legend ever did.
[01:16.46] Loneliness was tough;
[01:19.03] The toughest role you ever played .
[01:23.14] Hollywood created a superstar
[01:25.39] And pain was the price you paid.
[01:29.88] Even when you died '
[01:33.64] The press still hounded you;
[01:36.34] All the papers had to say
[01:39.33] Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
[01:44.82] And it seems to me you lived your life
[01:47.96] like a candle in the wind:
[01:51.65] Never knowing who to cling to
[01:54.96] when the rain set in.
[01:59.39] And I would have liked to have known you '
[02:02.02] But I was just a kid;
[02:04.81] Your candle burned out long before
[02:09.62] your legend ever did.
[02:24.28] Goodbye Norma Jean;
[02:26.86] Though I never knew you at all.
[02:30.60] You had the grace to hold yourself
[02:32.92] While those around you crawled.
[02:38.26] Goodbye Norma Jean'
[02:40.51] From the young man in the 22nd row'
[02:43.75] Who sees you as something more than sexual
[02:47.05] More than just our Marilyn Monroe.
[02:52.38] And it seems to me you lived your life
[02:55.44] like a candle in the wind:
[02:58.82] Never knowing who to cling to
[03:02.28] when the rain set in.
[03:06.40] And I would have liked to have known you '
[03:09.56] But I was just a kid;
[03:12.00] Your candle burned out long before
[03:17.19] your legend ever did.
[03:18.33] Your candle burned out long before
[03:26.32] your legend ever did.
