Elizabeth, I Love You - Lyrics

Welcome to Hollywood
That's what they told you
A child star in Hollywood
That's what they sold you
Grace and beauty
Charm and talent
You would do what you were told
But they robbed you of your childhood
Took your youth
And sold it for gold

Elizabeth, I love you
Your every star that shines in the world to me
Elizabeth, can’t you see that it’s true
Elizabeth, I love you
You're more than just a star to me

Lovely Elizabeth
You have surpassed them all
My friend Elizabeth learned to out last them all

Many started back when you did
Lost their way
And now they’re gone
But look at you
A true survivor
Full of life and carrying on

Elizabeth, I love you
You're every star that shines in the world to me
Elizabeth, can't you see that it's true
Elizabeth, I love you
You're more than just a star

This is your life
You seem to have it all
You reached your peak
They wanted you to fall
It's very sad
This world can be so bad
But through all the heartaches
When they put you down, you know
You were the victor
You earned the crown
It's like walking through fire
Determined to win
You were beating those battles
Again and again

Elizabeth, I love you
You're every star that shines in the world to me
Elizabeth, can’t you see that it's true

Remember the time when I was alone
You stood by my side
And said let’s be strong
You did all these things
That only a true friend can do
Elizabeth, I love you
The world knows your worth now
Of all the things on earth now
I pray one day I’ll be just ... like you
