Elisabeth   





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
