Princess Diana blossomed from a shy, private member of the British aristocracy into the people's princess. She was the most photographed member of the Royal Family, but the demand for pictures intruded on her private life even to her death.

Goodbye England's rose may you ever grow in our hearts.

You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apsrt.

You called ourt to our country, and you shispered 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, among 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.
