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..
