Candle in the wind
Mademoiselle Norma Jean Baker
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 the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on a 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 a 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
All the press still hunded 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 a long before
Your le gend ever did
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man of the 22nd row
You sees you as something as more than sexual
More just our Marilyn Monroe
Elton John "Candle in the wind" 1973
En la mémoire de Norma Jean Baker dite Marilyn Monroe 1 Juin 1926 - 4 Aout 1962
