”DIANA”

V1

When you came you were a listening bird
With a shyness wrapped in sweetness
When you came you were a glistening bird
Like the sunlight on a waterfall

There you were looking dignified
Stiffened by a royal tie around you
That's how we found you
The Princess of Smiles

​

V2

So you took your life above the trees
Angled by a friendly breeze into our backyards
And the years that you lived just there
We followed every heartbeat, every murmur, every tear you shed

​And there you were looking dignified
Stiffened by the royal tie around you
It had surrounded you
But you still shined

(And then the crowd would call)

​

CHORUS

It's Diana, Diana
We grew to love the girl
All around the world

​

V3

And beauty
The likes of which we'd never seen
Graced the covers of magazines across the globe
But the lenses grew large and long
Invading every private moment that you'd planned on

And there you stood looking mystified
Angered by the prying eyes around you
And they did hound you
But still you shined

(And then the crowd would call)

​

CHORUS

It's Diana, Diana
We grew to love the girl
All around the world

It's Diana, Diana
We all loved her world
As it climbed and swirled

​

BRIDGE

Late one Paris night you were taken
From our lives, the world was shaken
Stunned into loving, praising all your worth
Everyone on earth cried 

Diana, Diana
