   before       your legend ever will.


Loveliness we've lost; these empty days without your smile. 
This torch we'll always carry for our nation's golden child.
And even though we try, the truth brings us to tears; 
all our words cannot express the joy you brought us through the years.

Goodbye England's rose, from a country lost without your soul, 
who'll miss the wings of your compassion more than you'll ever know.
