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 16   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   Oooh yeah      Chorus:   Elisabeth   You're a teacher   You're 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   Elisabeth   She might not ever marry   or hold a baby of her own   Things we all take for granted   All 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   Everybody else      Chorus 2x
