Lyrics

[00:00.03] Candle In The Wind(oriiginal) - by Elton John
[00:08.03] Goodbye Norma Jean
[00:11.47] Though I never knew you at all
[00:14.11] You had the grace to hold yourself
[00:18.09] While those around you crawled
[00:22.55] They crawled out of the woodwork
[00:26.30] And they whispered into your brain
[00:29.46] They set you on the treadmill
[00:32.54] And they made you change your name
[00:38.04] And it seems to me you lived your life
[00:41.91] Like a candle in the wind
[00:45.99] Never knowing who to cling to
[00:49.65] When the rain set in
[00:53.52] And I would have liked to have known you
[00:56.90] But I was just a kid
[00:59.71] Your candle burned out long before
[01:03.60] Your legend ever did
[01:19.08] Loneliness was tough
[01:21.95] The toughest role you ever played
[01:25.37] Hollywood created a superstar
[01:28.93] And pain was the price you paid
[01:33.65] Even when you died
[01:38.20] The press still hounded you
[01:41.06] All the papers had to say
[01:44.17] Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
[01:51.54] And it seems to me you lived your life
[01:53.47] Like a candle in the wind
[01:57.47] Never knowing who to cling to
[02:01.17] When the rain set in
[02:05.05] And I would have liked to have known you
[02:08.44] But I was just a kid
[02:11.31] Your candle burned out long before
[02:15.20] Your legend ever did
[02:30.66] Goodbye Norma Jean
[02:33.48] Though I never knew you at all
[02:36.88] You had the grace to hold yourself
[02:40.35] While those around you crawled
[02:46.03] Goodbye Norma Jean
[02:48.80] From the young man in the 22nd row
[02:52.27] Who sees you as something more than sexual
[02:55.62] More than just our Marilyn Monroe
[03:01.12] And it seems to me you lived your life
[03:04.96] Like a candle in the wind
[03:08.78] Never knowing who to cling to
[03:12.39] When the rain set in
[03:16.34] And I would have liked to have known you
[03:19.83] But I was just a kid
[03:22.72] Your candle burned out long before
[03:26.60] Your legend ever did
[03:32.32] Your candle burned out long before
[03:35.67] Your legend ever did
