Elisabeth
Am Em Am
Elisabeth, why are your eyes wet?
Dm Am E7 Am
A beautiful girl should very rarely cry.
E7 Am G F7 E7
Before it makes the eye cloudy. Your beautiful hand gets cold
Am E7 Am
every time you cry. And it's stupid.
Let your long hair down and let your sadness go.
The love you get can very rarely last.
For that is love's lot. It comes and it goes.
But you still have the heart. And that's good.
Elisabeth, sleep well and dream of things that last.
Your mother seems tired and grumpy. And suffered men.
But look, it's crazy. Your father he disappeared.
Soon she will find someone else if she is wise.
