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 out 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 |

| El día sábado 6 de septiembre de 1997 se
celebró en Londres el funeral de Diana Princesa de Gales. La ceremonia, que tuvo lugar en la antigua abadía
de Westminster, estuvo marcada El profundo silencio y la sentida interpretación de Elton John movieron a las lágrimas a los príncipes Guillermo y Enrique, hijos de la princesa, que se habían mantenido imperturbables a lo largo de toda la ceremonia. La canción que hasta entonces permanece inédita, no fue conocida sino hasta que Elton John se pusiera al piano en plena abadía. En la noche del sábado, la letra ya podía conocerse a través de Internet. Web Presence se suma a este homenaje de despedida a Diana presentando una versión de esta canción en formato Real Audio, de producción propia, de producción salteña, grabada antes de que el CD de Elton John estuviera en las tiendas de discos.
