Everybody knows you are a flower One of those you see breaking through the concrete Shining all that beautiful light on everyone you meet Everybody knows you are a river One of those you hear cutting through the valley Changing every color for everyone to see Shining all that beautiful light one everyone you meet Oh, Elizabeth, I can hear you singing underneath your breath Your footprints on the hardwood lighter with each step Goodnight, baby Goodnight, Elizabeth Everybody knows you are a sunbeam One of those you feel shining on your shoulder Just after a week or so of thinkin' it couldn't get much colder Shining all that beautiful light on me Oh, Elizabeth, I can hear you singing underneath your breath Your footprints on the hardwood lighter with each step Goodnight, baby Oh, Elizabeth, blinking of an eye and time just lost its breath The moon forgets to rise, the sun tries not to set Goodnight, baby Goodnight, baby Goodnight, baby Goodnight, Elizabeth
