Lights Went Out in London She brought the light of hope to the trodden down While the world watched her lose her crown Stuggled hard to make her way without tears And she will grace our lives Far beyond these years The days were short and with sadness filled But her smile of love we remember still How do we say goodbye to a fair lady who lived With her majestic way only she could give The lights went out on London's streets tonight Her bridges crumbled down with all her might Now all the King's horses and all the King's men Can't bring our Princess back again She fought bravely for the right to show Her sons precious values rarely known To those made of royal clay And her crown of beauty lives in our hearts today
