Goodbye, Norma Jeane, though I never ...knew you at all,
You had the grace to hold yourself,
They crawled out of the woodwork,
And they whispered ...into your brain
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've liked to have known you, but I was just a kid,
Your candle burnt 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 Mari - lyn ...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've liked to have known you, but I was just a kid,
Your candle burnt out long before ...your legend ever did!

Goodbye, Norma Jeane, though I never ...knew you at all,
You had the grace to hold yourself,
Goodbye, Norma Jeane, from the young man in the 22nd row,
Who sees you as some - thing more than sexual,
More than just our ...Mari - lyn 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've liked to have known you, but I was just a kid,
Your candle burnt out long before ...your legend ever did,
