[00:24.19]Namesake to Elisabeth
[00:26.65]Her daddy''''s pride and joy
[00:29.67]Baptized in her mama''''s tears
[00:32.34]Soon after she was born
[00:35.19]''''Cause the doctor said she''''d never live
[00:38.14]To see her sweet sixteen
[00:41.00]It''''s a miracle she beat those odds
[00:43.90]And there''''s still no promise
[00:45.83]She will see tomorrow
[00:47.74]It makes me wonder
[00:49.75]How life can give someone so much
[00:52.49]And take so much away
[00:55.11]
[02:17.56][00:57.09]Oh, Elisabeth
[02:20.57][01:02.40]You''''re a teacher you''''re a saint
[02:25.49][01:07.33]And I''''m so glad you came to us
[02:29.00][01:10.94]Elisabeth, you make the world a better place
[02:36.39][01:18.21]With the kindness of your smile and your love
[02:42.47][01:24.12]And your beauty will live on and on
[01:30.95]Elisabeth
[01:33.70]
[01:41.85]She might not ever marry
[01:44.49]Or hold a baby of her own
[01:47.54]Things we all take for granted
[01:50.15]Are the things she may never know
[01:53.42]But she believes there''''s always hope
[01:56.16]And that''''s all she really has
[01:59.06]So she walks through life with passion and
[02:01.91]With dignity and class
[02:04.38]And when she cries, she cries in silence
[02:08.04]But never for herself
[02:10.00]She cries for everybody else
[02:13.92]Everybody else[02:52.44]
[02:57.68]I''''m so glad you came to us
[03:00.96]Elisabeth, you make the world a better place
[03:08.40]With the kindness of your smile and your love
[03:14.42]And your beauty will live on and on
