Gilman Billy Elisabeth Lyrics

Elisabeth Lyrics

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
