Namesake to Elisabeth

Her daddy's pride and joy

Baptised 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



oooh yeah

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 with 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



She believes there's always hope

And that's all she really has

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 with 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 with live on and on
