John Denver – Isabel lyrics
This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the Take Me To Tomorrow Album, and has also been released on the Reflections and The Country Roads Collection Album.

Isabel is waiting
In a room of many shadows
Her eyes like flashing diamonds
Shining brightly from the sea
Her hair in silken tresses
Like a robe around her shoulders
Hiding tantalising treasures
That the sun has never seen

Isabel is watching
Like a princess from the mountains
For the first soft snows of winter
And the icy winds they bring
With a whisper of her sadness
In the passing of the summer
Her crown is wild red roses
With a lace of forest green

And she wraps her arms around me and she sighs
And she sing to me in silence with her eyes
And her hair upon my pillow comforts me

Isabel is weeping
And her eyes are full of wonder
She knows that it's the time for her
And she cannot understand
She's a mistress of the moonlight
To the stars she is a sister
And the morning now awaits her
To betray her once again

And she whispers as she sadly slips away
Then she smiles because there's nothing left to say
And she takes with her the sadness and the sun

    The song was written for my grandmothers' sister Isabel! John and isabel first met on a beach before john really became famous and they both fell in love! But circumstance arose that they could not be with eachother and they had parted ways, then john wrote a song about her! And now my aunt is very sick and she has had an extraordinary life!
