"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.

We're slaves to the heart
Blinded by love by the flame in the dark
Blinded by how good it feels to be blinded by love
We're fallin' apart
And we never saw it coming
I guess we ignored every sign
Blinded by love
We both closed our eyes
And as we were drowning
We were both smiling
We're blinded by love
We're slaves to the heart
Blinded by love by the flame in the dark
Blinded by how good it feels
To be blinded by love
What becomes of two people
Who don't see things the same way
But don't wanna hurt an old friend
Careful with words that might show our hand
Guess we're blinded by love till the end
Blinded by love
We're slaves to the heart
Blinded by love by the flame in the dark
Blinded by how good it feels to be blinded by love
