I used this track to test speakers as the drums at the beginning was outstanding.
Goodbye England's rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
You called out to our country
And you whispered to those in pain
Now you belong to heaven
And the stars spell out your name

I was 12 years old, and I watched them bring the U-505 across South Shore Drive from Lake Michigan. Once in place, there were speeches by RAdm Dan Gallery, who had led the Navy task force that captured the boat, and Adm. William "Bull" Halsey! I was on the North side of the audience. so I wouldn't be in this picture. Later, the Pioneer Zephyr was moved in alongside the boat. Both stayed there, exposed to the weather, for years, until a below-ground addition was added to the Museum, and both moved inside.

It was originally written about Marilyn Monroe, but he rewrote some of the lyrics for Princess Diana.
Overview of "Candle in the Wind" Rewrite
Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind” was originally written in 1973 as a tribute to Marilyn Monroe. However, in 1997, the song was rewritten to honor Princess Diana, who tragically passed away in an auto accident.

I found the lyrics. I guess I never really paid enough attention to it before.
Goodbye England's rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
You called out to our country
And you whispered to those in pain
Now you belong to heaven
And the stars spell out your name
