Billy Gilman - Elisabeth Lyrics
Namesake to elisabethHer daddys pride and joyBaptized in her mamas tears soon after she was borncause the doctor said shed never liveTo see her sweet sixteenIts a miracle she beat those oddsAnd theres still no promiseShe will see tomorrowIt makes me wonderHow life can give someone so much and take so much awayOh, elisabethYoure a teacher youre a saintAnd Im so glad you came to usElisabeth, you make the world a better placeWith the kindness of your smile and your loveAnd your beauty will live on and onElisabethShe might not ever marryOr hold a baby of her ownThings we all take for grantedAre the things she may never knowBut she believes theres always hopeAnd thats all she really hasSo she walks through life with passion andWith dignity and classAnd when she cries, she cries in silenceBut never for herselfShe cries for everybody else, for everybody elseOh, elisabethYoure a teacher youre a saintAnd Im so glad you came to usElisabeth, you make the world a better placeWith the kindness of your smile and your loveAnd your beauty will live on and onElisabethAnd Im so glad you came to usElisabeth, you make the world a better placeWith the kindness of your smile and your loveAnd your beauty will live on and on
