Elisabeth Lyrics - Dare To Dream - Billy Gilman

Namesake to Elisabeth 

Her daddy's pride and joy 

Baptized 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 that 

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 

Ooh 

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
