Billy Joel Quotes

It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it.

Inspires me without a sound
She touches me and I get turned around.

Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to dream.
And dream how wonderful your life will be.
Someday your child may cry
And if you sing this lullabye
Then in your heart
There will always be a part of me. Someday we'll all be gone.
But lullabyes go on and on...
They never die.
That's how you
And I
Will be.

Yesterday you were an only child
Now your ghosts have gone away.

Don't look for answers
You took your chances
Don't ask my why.

Have no obligations
Hold no grand illusions
Need no stimulation.

She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see

For the whole revival.
Now I'm going outside to have
An ice cold beer in the shade.
Oh, I'm going to listen to my 45's.

When the memory stays, yeah.
I'm keeping the faith.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the faith.

She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind.

And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns.
And so it goes, and so it goes.
And so will you soon I suppose.

I'm young enough to still see the passionate boy I used to be.
But I'm old enough to say I got a good look at the other side.
I know we got to work real hard, maybe even for the rest of our lives.
But right now I just want to take what I can
Get tonight.<p>While the night is still young,
I want to keep making love to you,
While the night is still young.

I never said you had to offer me a second chance.
I never said I was a victim of circumstance.
I still belong, don't get me wrong.

But not on my time.

Our reason coexists with our insanity
And though we choose between reality and madness
It's either sadness or euphoria.

As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinking alone.

So many faces in and out of my life
Some will last
Some will be just now and then.
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again.
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby.
