Candle In The Wind- Elton John (w/ lyrics)

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 nameAnd 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 22nd 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

This was the most epic and soulful performance of "Candle in the wind," that Elton ever did. Just Elton, one Piano, one Organ, and nothing else elevated this Epic Song to a whole new level. I wish I could have been there live to be part of this. I've lost good friends in my lifetime and this makes me so appreative I had them in my life.

To the cancer guy I saw last night, brought in spirit to peace ✝️ he trusted me, went with me as I reached inside his soul to take him with me showing him visions/sounds/places only a souring spirit can see from those angles/pontsofview. Gorgeous places God created my favorites on earth. 💕 Your cancer dying tall bald man bod actually trusted me my spirit to show u. 💜 Thank you. Sincerely your seer

I dedicated this song in memory of a friend of mine who had the name of Norma Jean.
She was a school bus driver.
