ELTON JOHN lyrics : "Candle In The Wind"

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


Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual

More than just our Marilyn Monroe
