Tears in Heaven
by Eric Clapton
from Isabel's pov
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way, through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven
Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please
Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more...
Tears in heaven
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
What song makes you think of Alex and Isabel?

Oooh, good one Karen!!

I heard this one the other day, and though it's not my normal listening material, I did think of Alex and Isabel when I listened to the lyrics.
Do you remember me?
Performed by Perry Como
Do you remember me,
As I remember you?
I know, many years have passed,
Yet I still can't forget the love we shared.
Do you ever regret the day,
You turned and walked away?
Leaving a dream behind,
One I never could find again.
Life went on without you,
I willed it from my mind!
But still the memory lingers in my heart,
Of how we parted.
Do you remember why,
You had to say good-bye?
Do you every now and then,
Breathe a sigh, shed a tear, for me,
Wishing we were together, still in love,
The way that we used to be!
Do you remember me,
Holding you tenderly?
Do you, every now and then,
Breathe a sigh, shed a tear, for me,
Wishing we were together, still in love,
The way that we used to be!

By my Side-INXS
In the dark of the night
Those small hours
Uncertain and anxious
I need to call you
Rooms full of strangers
Some call me friend
But I wish you were so close to me
In the dark of night
Those small hours
I drift away
When I'm with you
In the dark of night
By my side
In the dark of night
By my side, by my side, by my side
I wish you were
I wish you were
Here comes the clown
His face in a wall
No window
No air at all
In the dark of night
Those faces they haunt me
But I wish you were
So close to me
By my side
By my side
I wish you were
I wish you were
By my side
In the dark of night
Those faces they haunt me
I wish you were so close to me
Yes I wish you were
By my side
In the dark of the night
Those small hours
Uncertain and anxious
I need to call you
Rooms full of strangers
Some call me friend
But I wish you were so close to me
In the dark of night
Those small hours
I drift away
When I'm with you
In the dark of night
By my side
In the dark of night
By my side, by my side, by my side
I wish you were
I wish you were
Here comes the clown
His face in a wall
No window
No air at all
In the dark of night
Those faces they haunt me
But I wish you were
So close to me
By my side
By my side
I wish you were
I wish you were
By my side
In the dark of night
Those faces they haunt me
I wish you were so close to me
Yes I wish you were
By my side

Wow, that's alot of good songs! Every one of it makes me sad because there can't exactly be Alex-Isabel anymore since Alex is dead.
Anyway, here's a song that reminds me of I/A. More of Alex to Isabel, I guess.
Inside Your Heaven - Carrie Underwood
i've been down
now i'm blessed
i felt a revelation coming around
i guess its right, it's so amazing
everytime i see you i'm alive
you're all i've got
you lift me up
the sun and the moonlight
all my dreams are in your eyes
i wanna be inside your heaven
take me to the place you cry from
where the storm blows your way
i wanna be earth that holds you
every bit of air you're breathin' in
a soothin' wind
i wanna be inside your heaven
when we touch, when we love
the stars light up
the wrong becomes undone
naturally, my soul surrenders
the sun and the moonlight
all my dreams are in your eyes
and i wanna be inside your heaven
take me to the place you cry from
where the storm blows your way
and i wanna be the earth that holds you
every bit of air you're breathing in
a soothing wind
i wanna be inside your heaven
when minutes turn to days and years
when mountains fall, i'll still be here
holdin you until the day i die
and i wanna be inside your heaven
take me to the place you cry from
where the storm blows your way
i wanna be inside your heaven
take me to the place you cry from
where the storm blows your way
i wanna be earth that holds you
every bit of air you're breathin' in
a soothin' wind
i wanna be inside your heaven
oh yes i do
i wanna be inside your heaven

Well, making Alex wait was never really a thing that was mentioned in the show, but I just heard this song and its tone kinduv reminded me of how Alex loves Isabel. Also, well, there was that bit in 'to serve and protect' when she couldn't make up her mind what to wear for he-who-shall-not-be-named:
Waitin' On A Woman
Sittin' on a bench at West Town Mall
He sat down in his overalls and asked me
"You waitin' on a woman?"
I nodded yeah and said how 'bout you?
He said son since nineteen fifty-two I've been
Waitin' on a woman
When I picked her up for our first date
I told her I'd be there at eight
And she came down the stairs at eight-thirty
She said I'm sorry that I took so long
Didn't like a thing that I tried on
But let me tell you son she sure looked pretty
Yeah she'll take her time but I don't mind
Waitin' on a woman
He said the wedding took a year to plan
You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous
Waitin' on a woman
And then he nudged my arm like old men do
And said, I'll say this about the honeymoon, it was worth it
Waitin' on a woman
And I don't guess we've been anywhere
She hasn't made us late I swear
Sometimes she does it just 'cause she can do it
Boy it's just a fact of life
It'll be the same with your young wife
Might as well go on and get used to it
She'll take her time 'cause you don't mind
Waitin' on a woman
I've read somewhere statistics show
The man's always the first to go
And that makes sense 'cause I know she won't be ready
So when it finally comes my time
And I get to the other side
I'll find myself a bench, if they've got any
I hope she takes her time, 'cause I don't mind
Waitin' on a woman
Honey, take your time, cause I don't mind
Waitin' on a woman
(Just realized that the lyrics have a possibly more bittersweet aspect for Alex/Isabel... is he 'waiting for her on the other side' already?? Personally, I prefer to think of things... you know, the other way, with Alex alive and happy and spending a nice full life with Izzy.

I love the lyrics of the song you posted Chrisken
It puts an image of my mind of Alex waiting for Izzy in the afterlife,nothing will keep them apart.
Reminds me of a quote from the movie "Troy" by Paris "we will be together in this life or the next"...although like you I like to imagine him being alive and them having a normal happy life together and that "J" man not being anywhere in the picture
Once again...very appropriate lyrics 
Made me a little sad *sniff*

I was watching tv this morning and I heard this song and it made me think about A/I from Alex's point of view.
(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away
The Beegees
Maybe I don't wanna know the reason why,
but lately you don't talk to me and darling, I can't see me in your eyes.
I hold you near but you're so far away.
And it's losing you I can't believe, to watch you leave and let this feeling die.
You alone are the living thing that keeps me alive.
And tomorrow if I'm here without your love, you know I can't survive.
Only my love can raise you high above it all.
Don't throw it all away, our love, our love, don't throw it all away, our love.
Don't throw it all away, our love, our love, don't throw it all away, our love.
We can take the darkness and make if full of light.
But let your love flow back to me, how can you leave and let this feeling die?
This happy room will be a lonely place when you are gone.
And I won't even have your shoulders for the crying on.
No other women's love could be as true, I'm begging you.
Don't throw it all away, our love, our love, don't throw it all away, our love.
Don't throw it all away, our love, our love, don't throw it all away, our love.
Don't throw it all away, our love, our love, don't throw it all away, our love.
Don't throw it all away, our love, our love, don't throw it all away, our love
