Candle In The Wind

Goodbye Norma Jeane
 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've liked to 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've liked to known you
 But I was just a kid
 Your candle burned out long before
 Your legend ever did

 Though I never knew you at all

 While those around you crawled
 Goodbye Norma Jeane
 From the young man in the twenty second row
 Who sees you as something as 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've liked to known you
 But I was just a kid
 Your candle burned out long before
