"Candle in the Wind" is a song with music by Elton John and lyrics by Bernie Taupin. It was originally written in 1973, in honor of Marilyn Monroe, who had died 11 years earlier. In 1997, John performed a remake of the song as a tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales. This version of the song was released as a single, and reached No. 1 in many countries, proving a much greater success than the original. The original version in the key of E major appeared on John's 1973 album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Read more on Last.fm.

I couldn't believe, the temptation that came with you
Oh I never knew
I couldn't believe, the amazing things that I would do
Oh when it came to you

But I believe it now when I put my arms around you
There ain't no doubt about it when I lay my hands upon you
I believe, I believe

I couldn't believe, another pretty face like you have
Hey could lay me out
I couldn't believe, how easily you broke me
And I've been around

But I believe it now when I put my arms around you
There ain't no doubt about it when I lay my hands upon you
I believe, I believe

No matter where else I go
No matter who else I hold
You better keep it intact
'Cause I'm coming on back to you
Coming on back to you

I couldn't believe, the temptation that came with you
Oh I never knew
I couldn't believe, the amazing things that I would do
Oh when it came to you

But I believe it now when I put my arms around you
There ain't no doubt about it when I lay my hands upon you
I believe, I believe

I believe it now, I couldn't believe
I believe it now, I couldn't believe
