Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road<br><br>Goodbye norma jean<br>Though I never knew you at all<br>You had the grace to hold yourself<br>While those around you crawled<br>They crawled out of the woodwork<br>And they whispered into your brain<br>They set you on the treadmill<br>And they made you change your name<br><br>And it seems to me you lived your life<br>Like a candle in the wind<br>Never knowing who to cling to<br>When the rain set in<br>And I would have liked to have known you<br>But I was just a kid<br>Your candle burned out long before<br>Your legend never did<br><br>Loneliness was tough<br>The toughest role you ever played<br>Hollywood created a superstar<br>And pain was the price you paid<br>Even when you died<br>Oh the press still hounded you<br>All the papers had to say<br>Was that marilyn was found in the nude<br><br>Goodbye norma jean<br>From the young man in the 22nd row<br>Who sees you as something as more than sexual<br>More than just our marilyn monroe
