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
AH AH AH
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
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
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
WILL 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
WILL LIVE ON
AND ON
