Goodbye hometown girl, may you ever live in our hearts
You are the one we lost, and our lives are torn apart
But you call out to your family, and you whispered to those in pain
Now you belong to heaven, and the stars spell out your name
And it seems to me you lived your life, like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset, when the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here, on Lake Stevens sandy shore
Your candle's burned out long before, your mem'ry ever will
Loveliness we've lost, these empty days without your smile
This torch we'll always carry, for our favorite hometown 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
And it seems to me you lived your life, like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset, when the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here, on Lake Stevens sandy shore
Your candle's burned out long before, your mem'ry ever will.
Goodbye hometown girl, may you ever live in our hearts
You were a friend to all, and now you must depart
Goodbye hometown girl, from someone lost without your soul
Who'll miss the wings of your compassion, more than you'll ever know
And it seems to me you lived your life, like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset, when the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here, on Lake Stevens sandy shore
Your candle's burned out long before, your mem'ry ever will
