Elizabeth

Twenty-three years is a lifetime to wait

Walking down roads that were bent out of shape

But I always remembered your beautiful smile

And those deep blue eyes across every mile

Time kept on moving, but time couldn't steal

The way that you made this old heart of mine feel

Elizabeth, you are my whole world now

It's been three sweet years since we made our vow

You're the absolute sweetest heart I've ever known

With a gentle soft touch that feels like coming home

I'd wait twenty-three more if I had to choose

Just to spend my forever with you

I wake up each morning and look at your face

And thank the good Lord for His mercy and grace

You reach out your hand in the morning light

And suddenly everything heavy is right

The years that we lost just fade in the past

Now that I'm holding you steady and fast

Elizabeth, you are my whole world now

It's been three sweet years since we made our vow

You're the absolute sweetest heart I've ever known

With a gentle soft touch that feels like coming home

I'd wait twenty-three more if I had to choose

Just to spend my forever with you

We had our own chapters, we lived our own lives

But fate had a plan to make you my wife

The calendar turned and the seasons all flipped

Right back to the beat that my heart never skipped

You're the most important person to me

The center of everything good that I see

I'm holding you close and I'm not letting go

I just need to make sure you always will know

Elizabeth, you are my whole world now

It's been three sweet years since we made our vow

You're the absolute sweetest heart I've ever known

With a gentle soft touch that feels like coming home

I'd wait twenty-three more if I had to choose

Just to spend my forever with you

Yeah, I'd wait twenty-three more for those eyes of blue

Just to spend my forever with you
