EGoodbye Norma Jean, though I neveAr knew you at all
You had the grace to hold Eyourself while those around you crawledA
They crawled out of the wEoodwork and they whispered Ainto your brain
They sent you on a treadEmill and they made you change your name A
BAnd it seems to me you lived your liB7fe
Like a cEandle in the windA
Never knEowing who to cling to when the rBain set in
And I would Ahave liked to've known you but I was juC#mst a kid
Your candle burned out loBng before your lAegend ever did E
Other verses:
Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar and pain was the price you paid
And even when you died, oh, the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean, from a young man in the twenty second row
Who sees you as something more than sexual, more than just our Marilyn Monroe
