Elisabeth — текст песни (Billy Gilman)

Namesake to elisabeth

Her daddys pride and joy

Baptized in her mamas tears soon after she was born

cause the doctor said shed never live

To see her sweet sixteen

Its a miracle she beat those odds

And theres 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

Youre a teacher youre a saint

And Im 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 theres always hope

And thats 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

Youre a teacher youre a saint

And Im 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 Im 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
