"Candle in the Wind" (Elton John song)

Is there a website that has the lyrics to this song? I’m trying to find out if one verse contains the phrase “many years ago” or something similar. Thanks. :slight_smile:

Candle in the Wind

Thanks, Mishell. The lyric I sought (It was in a dream I had last night) doesn’t appear in that website; but the lyrics EJ wrote and performed are glum enough. :frowning:

Which version, though? The Marilyn Monroe one (the best one), or that glurgy Diana one?

IIRC, he did another version dedicated to Ryan White, one of the first notable AIDS victims.

This strikes me as a tad crass. I mean, he did this song as a tribute to a troubled celebrity that he admired as a kid, and now he’s chopping it up and serving it to whoever else he feels like honoring? As my sister said, “This isn’t ‘Happy Birthday’!”
