Goodbye Norma Jean Though I never knew you at all You the grace to hold yourself While those around you crawled They crawled out of the And they whispered into your brain set you on the treadmill And they made you change your name
And it seems me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never knowing who to to When the rain set in And I would have liked to have known you But I was just kid Your candle burned out long before Your legend ever(*) did
was tough The toughest role you ever played Hollywood created a superstar And pain the price you paid Even when you died Oh the press still hounded you All the papers had to say Was that was found in the nude
Goodbye Norma Jean From the young man the 22nd row Who sees you as something as more than sexual More than just our Marilyn Monroe
