A tribute to Diana Spencer who died on August 31, 1997

Queen of Hearts is about Princess Di's untimely death and talks about the effect it had on so many people at the time. I think most people were as shocked and moved as I was by this tradgedy.

I wrote and produced this song within three days of hearing the news. I have never re-recorded the song since but I thought I should upload it now being the 10 year anniversary of her passing.

Queen Of Hearts

I heard it on the news today
The Queen of Hearts is dead
It happened in an accident
Is what the tabloids said
kamakarzi paparazzi
On a mission from their god
They hounded you to death
You couldn't beat the odds

Saw you try and help
the needing of this world
Your cause was always greater
Than the gossip that we heard
Your face was always there
On every magazine

They referred to you as princess
But you know you were a

Queen of hearts
Queen of hearts
God bless the queen
Queen of hearts

Your private life was public
Your lonliness you hid
There were some that didn't love you
but a whole wide world that did

I saw the people's grief
Tough statesman start to cry
And now we ask the question
Why did that lady die

Before I heard the news
I didn't think I was a fan
But with this mist that fills my eyes
I know now that I am

God Bless the Queen of Hearts
God Bless the Queen of Hearts
God Bless the Queen
The Queen of Hearts

So if you came here for a purpose
I guess your work was done
No-one realised
How soon your time would come
The legacy you left behind
Of work that must be done
A lesson just in caring
Is there for everyone

You were the Queen of Hearts
God Bless the Queen of Hearts
You were the queen
The Queen of hearts

You were the Queen of Hearts
God Bless the Queen of Hearts
You were the Queen
The Queen of Hearts
