[Introduction]
這首歌在Billboard蟬聯了14周冠軍，理所當然為1997年的年終冠軍；不只在美國，這首歌因為是紀念辭世的黛安娜王妃，而黛安娜王妃一直擁有高人氣，受舉世注目景仰，在新聞佔據各國頭條之時，這首極其貼切而優美的旋律，自然而然在各國都曝光率極高，佔據了許多國家的音樂排行榜冠軍。
“Candle in the Wind”其實是1973年Elton John為了紀念瑪麗蓮夢露而做，時隔20多年，拿來緬懷在不同領域同為巨星的另一位佳人，再適合也不過了。乍聞王妃過世的消息後，Elton John拾起哀痛，聯絡長期歌詞創作夥伴Bernie Taupin，利用一周時間完成了新歌詞創作，以優美平易的辭彙，簡述了王妃的事蹟，寫下了世人對她的滿腔懷念與不捨。
[Lyrics]
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
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 our long before
Your legend ever will
Goodbye England's rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
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
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
