D Bm7
Namesake to Elisabeth, her daddy's pride and joy
G
Baptized in her mama's tears soon after she was born
D Bm7
'Cause the doctor said she'd never live to see her sweet sixteen
G D G Em
It's a miracle she beat those odds and there's still no promise she will see tomorrow
B A G
It makes me wonder how life can give someone so much and take so much away
D Bm7 G
Oh, Elisabeth, you're a teacher you're a saint
A G
And I'm so glad you came to us
D Bm7 G
Elisabeth, you make the world a better place
Bm A E7
With the kindness of your smile and your love
G D
And your beauty will live on and on, Elisabeth
She might not ever marry or hold a baby of her own
