Elisabeth Namesake to Elisabeth Her daddy's pride and joy Baptised 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 that 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 Ooh 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 With live on and on Elisabeth 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
She believes there's Always hope And that's all she really has 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
Everybody else 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 With live on and on
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 With live on and on
