Lyrics
Oh, Eliza!
By Ted Horrell
Oh Eliza!
You stole into my heart
Oh Eliza!
You gave me quite a start
I had my mind made up there was not supposed to be
Anyone who could unlock my heart, but you found the key
Oh Eliza!
You crept into my world
Oh Eliza!
Where I slept so tightly curled
I’d decided it would be best if I slipped into a dream
You woke me up, got me going, got me fed and got me clean
I want to thank you
I’ve got to thank you
I can never thank you
Enough to show you what I mean
Oh Eliza!
You shook my lifeless form
Oh Eliza!
I was anything but warm
How were you where you were when you knew what you did?
I was old, I was cold, you made me feel just like a kid
Oh Eliza!
You slammed into my life
Oh Eliza!
You agreed to be my wife
Neither one of us regrets the things we did before
But we’re both so glad we don’t have to do them anymore
