[Intro]

[Verse 1]
CGoodbye Norma Jeane
Though I never kFnew you at all
You had the grace to hoCld yourself
While those around you craFwled
They crawled out of the woodCwork
And they whispered iFnto your brain
They set you on the treadCmill
And they made you change your nFame
[Chorus]
And it seGems to me you lived your life
Like a canCdle in the wiFnd
Never knoCwing who to cling to
When the raGin set in
And FI would've liked to have known you
But I was jAmust a kid
Your candle burned out loGng before
YoFur legend ever did C
[Interlude]
C x6
[Verse 2]
CLoneliness was tough
The toughest role yFou ever played
Hollywood created a supeCrstar
And pain was the price you pFaid
Even when you dCied (Even when you died)
Oh the press stFill hounded you
All the papers hCad to say
Was that Marilyn was found iFn the nude
[Chorus]
And it seGems to me you lived your life
Like a canCdle in the wFind
Never knoCwing who to cling to
When the raGin set in
And FI would've liked to have known you
But I was jAmust a kid
Your candle burned out loGng before
YFour legend ever did C
[Interlude]
C x6
[Verse 3]
GoCodbye Norma Jeane
Though I never knFew you at all
You had the grace to hCold yourself
While those around you craFwled
GooCdbye Norma Jeane
From the young man in the 22Fnd row
Who sees you as something mCore than sexual
More than just our MariFlyn Monroe
[Chorus]
And it seGems to me you lived your life
Like a canCdle in the wFind
Never knoCwing who to cling to
When the raGin set in
And FI would've liked to have known you
But I was jAmust a kid
Your candle burned out loGng before
YFour legend ever did C
Your candle burned out loGng before
