"Candle in the Wind" is from the 1974 "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" album of Elton John, back when Bernie Taupin was still writing lyrics for Elton John's songs. Of course, in 1997, Elton John cashed in on this song, re-writing the lyrics for Princess Diana. It eventually became the 2nd biggest selling single at the time. It also became unabashedly corny. Nothing beats Bernie Taupin's original lyrics, written for Marilyn Monroe
