Good-bye,  Eng-land's rose;__ may you ev-er grow in our hearts. 
You were the grace that placed  it -self___where lives were torn a-part.__
You called out to our coun-try, and you whis-pered  to those in pain.__
Now you be-long to heav-en, and the  stars   spell out  your name.___

And it seems to me__ you lived your life__like a can-dle in__ the wind,___
nev-er fad-ing with the sun - set when the rain  set   in.___
And your foot-steps will al-ways fall___ here___a - long Eng-land's green-est hills.____

And it seems to me__ you lived your life__like a can-dle in__ the wind,___
nev-er fad-ing with the sun - set when the rain  set   in.___
And your foot-steps will al-ways fall___ here___a - long Eng-land's green-est hills.____
Your can-dle's burned out   long__ be - fore__your  leg-end  ev - er will._______

Love - li - ness___ we've lost;___ these emp-ty days with-out____ your smile.
This torch we'll al - ways car-ry       for  our na-tion's gold-en child.___
And e-ven though we  try,   the truth brings us___ to   tears.___
All our words can-not ex-ress   the joy you've brought  us through the years.__

And it seems to me__ you lived your life__like a can-dle in__ the wind,___
nev-er fad-ing with the sun - set when the rain  set   in.___
And your foot-steps will al-ways fall___ here___a - long Eng-land's green-est hills.____

And it seems to me__ you lived your life__like a can-dle in__ the wind,___
nev-er fad-ing with the sun - set when the rain  set   in.___
And your foot-steps will al-ways fall___ here___a - long Eng-land's green-est hills.____
Your can-dle's burned out long__ be - fore__your leg-end ev - er will._______

Good-bye,   Eng-land's rose;__ may you  ev-er   grow  in  our  hearts. 
You were the grace  that placed  it -self____where lives were torn a-part.__
Good-bye,  Eng-land's rose;__ from a coun-try lost   with-out your soul,
who'll miss the wings of your com-pas-sion  more than you will ev-er know.
