Candle in the wind - Elton John
EGoodbye Norma Jean, though I neveAr knew you at all
You had the gErace to hold yoursAelf while those around you crawled
They crEawled out Aof the woodwork and they whispered into your brain
They sEent you on Aa treadmill and they made you change your name
Chorus :
BAnd it seems B7to me you lived your life
LiEke a candle in thAe wind
NeEver knowing who Bto cling to when the rain set in
And I Awould have liked to've known you but I C#mwas just a kid
Your candle burned out loBng before your lAegendE ever did
Other verses:
Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar and pain was the price you paid
And even when you died, oh, the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude
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 a young man in the twenty second row
Who sees you as something more than sexual, more than just our Marilyn Monroe
