Goodbye England's Rose
May you ever grow in our hearts.
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart.
You called out to our country,
And you whispered to those in pain.
Now you belong to heaven,
And the stars spell out your name.
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind:
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in.
And your footsteps will always fall here,
Along England's greenest hills;
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend ever will.
Loveliness we've lost;
These empty days without your smile.
This torch we'll always carry
For our nation's golden child.
And even though we try,
The truth brings us to tears;
All our words cannot express
The joy you brought us through the years.
Goodbye England's Rose,
From a country lost without your soul,
Who'll miss the wings of your compassion
More than you'll ever know.

Dear Sheldon,
This was passed on to me, but I'm having computer problems and I
thought you might be able to post them to anyone looking for them.
Thanks.
New lyrics from Elton John - a tribute to Mother Theresa
(Also to the music of "Candle In The Wind")
AGELESS CHILD OF LOVE
Goodbye Mother T., though I never knew you at all,
you had the grace to give yourself while those around you crawled.
To the children of Calcutta, and the children of the world,
you gave yourself for all your life like a shining mother of pearl.
And it seems to me you lived your life like an ageless child of love,
never resting from your mission sent from above.
And I would have liked to've met you, just once to be
touched by your loving hands blessed for eternity.
I always saw you from a distance, not really knowing what to do.
How could it be you gave yourself. Could we learn to do it too?
Could we learn to love each other in the middle of the hate?
Could we learn to see how easy it is to give instead of take?
Chorus
Goodbye Mother T., though I never knew you at all,
you had the grace to give yourself to those of us who fall.
Goodbye Mother T., from someone who still needs to learn,
that what you gave is not so hard, if we all just take our turn.
Chorus
