John Denver - Isabel Lyrics
Isabel is waiting
In a room of many shadows
Her eyes like flashing diamonds
Shining brightly from the sea
Her hair in silken tresses
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
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
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

John Denver Isabel Comments
My name is Isabelle 🌻
The arrangements make this song sound kind of trippy. Not usual for a John Denver song
such a beautiful song,absolutely love it,bless you johnboy
Denver's early days on RCA were so mysterious. Like Elvis, who also recorded on the same label, our Rocky Mountain hero could never truly leave it. When he did, it was a long spiral toward the end.
I called my daughter Isabel because of this song, incredibly beautiful
One of JD's best tunes, yet, in my opinion, one of his worst arrangements. "Isabel" sounds magnificent as a simple ballad with guitars and vocals. All this production ruins it for me. I especially think the keyboard player should have been locked in a closet.
It sounds stunning on an original LP through a decent system. The CD/mp3 versions sound dead.
Your so right the keyboard takes too much away from the songs direction. Thank God John's voice over comes this. Still a haunting ballad, lyrics, and melody.

My soul mate...beautiful....
hauntingly beautiful ❤️
This is probably my favorite JD song.
omg my name is isabel
Isabel was the name of one of his guitars. I think it was the Guild six string with the duel pickgards.
Beautiful. This and Aspenglow are my favorite JD songs. He's missed.
