“It was real simple. I just love that name. Bobby was writing the song and that word just fell into the melody. I just imagined a girl named Elizabeth and wrote words that were a tribute to her.” -Jake Holmes, lyricist
Dressed in dreams for me
You were what I wished to see
Elizabeth, Elizabeth
Love was very new
Make-believe was coming true
Elizabeth, Elizabeth
You were all much too much
Out of reach out of touch
When you came to me
I found it could never be
Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth
So a dream has to end
When it's real not pretend
Dressed in memories
You are what you used to be
Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth
Elizabeth was written by Bob Gaudio & Jake Holmes.
