Namesake to Elisabeth
|
Her daddy's pride and joy
|
Baptized in her mama's tears soon after she was born
|
'Cause the doctor said she'd never live
|
To see her sweet sixteen
|
It's a miracle she beat those odds
|
And there's still no promise
|
She will see tomorrow
|
It makes me wonder
|
How life can give someone so much and take so much away
|
|
Oh, Elisabeth
|
You're a teacher you're a saint
|
And I'm so glad you came to us
|
Elisabeth, you make the world a better place
|
With the kindness of your smile and your love
|
And your beauty will live on and on
|
Elisabeth
|
|
She might not ever marry
|
Or hold a baby of her own
|
Things we all take for granted
|
Are the things she may never know
|
But she believes there's always hope
|
And that's all she really has
|
So she walks through life with passion and
|
With dignity and class
|
|
And when she cries, she cries in silence
|
But never for herself
|
She cries for everybody else, for everybody else
|
|
Oh, Elisabeth
|
You're a teacher you're a saint
|
And I'm so glad you came to us
|
Elisabeth, you make the world a better place
|
With the kindness of your smile and your love
|
And your beauty will live on and on
|
Elisabeth
|
|
And I'm so glad you came to us
|
Elisabeth, you make the world a better place
|
With the kindness of your smile and your love
|
And your beauty will live on and on
|
