Candle in the wind (live) - Elton John

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had 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.

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 have liked to have known you 
But I was just a kid,
Your candle burned out long before, 
Your legend ever did.

Loneliness was tough,
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid.
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you,
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude.

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 have liked to have known you 
But I was just a kid,
Your candle burned out long before, 
Your legend ever did.

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself,
While those around you crawled.
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man 
In the twenty second row,
Who sees you as 
Something more than sexual,
More than just our Marilyn Monroe.

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 have liked to have known 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.
