Namesake to Elisabeth Her daddy's pride and joy Baptised in 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 that she beat those odds And there's still no promise she will see It makes me How life can give someone so much and take so much away

She might not ever marry or hold a baby of her own Things we take for granted Are the she may never know

Everybody else Elisabeth You're a teacher, you're a saint And I'm glad you came to us Elisabeth You make the world a better place With the kindness of your smile and love And your beauty with live on and on
