Elisabeth's Eyes Testo

There was a letter

A hundred letters
I wrote a letter
It said 'Hi! Mr. President I hope
You're fit and strong'
And I hope you'll give me every
Chance to live because they done me wrong

My hope lies in Elisabeth's eyes
Love I will never have known
My hope lies in Elisabeth's eyes
Alone

Still reeling I detect a feeling that I'm here to stay
Somebody locked me up
Somebody threw my key away
I got a letter
A single letter
I read the letter
It said 'Hang in there boy
I am fighting for you still'
It was then I knew I really loved her too
I guess I always will

(Chorus)

Another letter
The last letter
I wrote a letter
It said 'Don't cry lady, you really shouldn't care'
Tuesday at seven I will find my heaven
And I'll see you there

(Chorus 2x)
