Isabel Songtext
von Brian Webb

It′s the summer of '48 and I′m in love
With Isabelle, she's a small town girl
I'm a poor town boy who just got home from a war
And she said, "Baby, did all that death and dying
Make you scared to live?"
I told her no
I said the prospect of her love, your life
I think I want to be giving you the rest of mine
Isabelle

So let′s build a family, let′s raise a home
Ah, Isabelle now, I will work it through
Raise a boy who learns to love
Maybe a girl who loves like you do


'Cause in my life
I suppose there are miracles
And maybe I have lived to tell
That in my life
Now here was one love
And I want a love as well
For the rest of mine
Isabelle

Yeah, ′cause we're young, we grow old
But there′s life in between, that's another thing
I give you the best of me
We′re young, we grow old
But there's love in between, now that is something
I give you the best, well the best in me

Isabelle, I'm scared
′Cause you know the longer I live
Well, the shorter my life seems in my mind
I got sick last year
And I don′t want to miss my springtime

So I asked her, "Baby, did all this death and dying
Did it make you scared to live?"
She tells me no
She said the prospect of my love and my life
Says she wants to be giving the rest of mine
Isabelle
Take the best of mine
Isabelle


Well, Steve still likes to open the doors by himself
So we stand 'bout three feet in back of him
And Isabelle measures out her steps
So it don′t look like she's got a weight on him

And in my life
I suppose there are miracles
And maybe I have lived to tell
In my life
Well, here was one love
And I want a love as well
For the rest of mine
Isabelle

′Cause we're young, we grow old
But there′s life in between, that is something
