"Elizabeth" lyrics

"Elizabeth"

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

Goodnight, baby
Goodnight, baby
Goodnight, Elizabeth
