Ali dances and the audience applauds
Though he's bathed in sweat he hasn't lost his style Ali don't you go downtown You gave away another round for free Me, I'm just another face at Zanzibar But the waitress always serves a secret smile She's waiting out in Shantytown She's gonna pull the curtains down for me, for me I've got the old man's car I've got a jazz guitar I've got a tab at Zanzibar Tonight that's where I'll be Rose, he knows he's such a credit to the game But the Yankees grab the headline every time Melodrama's so much fun In black and white for everyone to see Me, I'm trying just to get to second base And I'd steal it if she only gave the sign She's gonna give the go ahead The inning isn't over yet for me I've got the old man's car I've got a jazz guitar I've got a tab at Zanzibar Tonight that's where I'll be Tell the waitress I'll come back to Zanzibar I'll be hiding in the darkness with my beer She's waiting out in Shantytown She's gonna pull the curtains down for me, for me I've got the old man's car I've got a jazz guitar I've got a tab at Zanzibar Tonight that's where I'll be |

When you look into my eyes
And you see the crazy gypsy in my soul It always comes as a surprise When I feel my withered roots begin to grow Well I never had a place that I could call my very own That's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home When you touch my weary head And you tell me everything will be all right You say, "Use my body for your bed And my love will keep you warm throughout the night" Well, I'll never be a stranger and I'll never be alone Whenever we're together, that's my home Home can be the Pennsylvania Turnpike Indiana's early morning dew High up in the hills of California Home is just another word for you Well I never had a place that I could call my very own That's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home If I travel all my life And I never get to stop and settle down Long as I have you by my side There's a roof above and good walls all around You're my castle, you're my cabin and my instant pleasure dome I need you in my house 'cause you're my home You're my home |

I never thought that she would say Say goodbye; but she did And now I wanna die. I wanna die I never thought that I would need, need a friend But I did, in the end Tell me why, Judy, why Oh, what a scene It's wrong for her to hang me up this way Oh, where you been? 'Cause it's so hard to make it through the day A man my age is very young, so I'm told Why do I feel so old? Tell me why, Judy, why?

Where's the orchestra?
Wasn't this supposed to be a musical? Here I am in the balcony How the hell could I have missed the overture? I like the scenery Even though I have absolutely no Idea at all What is being said Despite the dialogue There's the leading man The movie star who never faced an audience Where's the orchestra? After all This is my big night on the town My introduction to the theater crowd I assumed that the show would have a song So I was wrong At least I understand All the innuendo and the irony And I appreciate The roles the actors played The point the author made And after the closing lines And after the curtain calls The curtain falls On empty chairs Where's the orchestra? |

(how did I miss you) When you were out there all the time It took this moment to make me realize *(Cause) Once in a lifetime You find your reason for living You find the one that makes your every dream come true (Find the one that makes your dreams come true) Oh, I could search the world forever No one else could do Cause once in a lifetime, you find someone like you Once in a lifetime, oh I've waited for so long (so long) Makin this can't nothin be but a lie Cause all about standing by wind, alone in the crowd I went through the motion (went through the motion) Then out of heaven you arrived Whatever was wrong, suddenly is right *Repeat (Find someone like you) Hearts that wait for love can grow so weary (Don't you know, a heart can grow?)

Then I don't mind masquerading with all those other fools I don't mind the games I'm playing, Because I've learned the rules And when times are tough, I've got just enough If you're standing right by my side Darling more and more I get hungry for All the ways you keep me satisfied On our own there ain't nothing that we can't get thru But when in Rome, do as the Romans do Then I don't mind masquerading with all those other fools I don't mind the games I'm playing, Because I've learned the rules It doesn't matter when we're home, all alone All we've got to be is me and you On our own there ain't nothing that we can't get thru But when in Rome, do as the Romans do |

Slow down, you crazy child.
You're so ambitious for a juvenile. But then if you're so smart, tell me why are you still so afraid? Where's the fire? What's the hurry about? You better cool it off before you burn it out. You got so much to do and only so many hours in a day. But you know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want or you can just get old. You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through. When will you realize Vienna waits for you? Slow down, you're doing fine. You can't be everything you wanna be before your time, Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight. Too bad, but it's the life you lead. You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need. Though you can see when you're wrong, You know, you can't always see when you're right. You've got your passion. You've got your pride, But don't you know that only fools are satisfied? Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true. When will you realize Vienna waits for you? Slow down, you crazy child. Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while. It's all right you can afford to lose a day or two. When will you realize Vienna waits for you? You know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want or you can just get old. You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through. Why don't you realize Vienna waits for you? When will you realize Vienna waits for you? |

I never ask you where you go
After I leave you in the morning We go our different ways to separate situations It's not that easy anymore Today I do what must be done I give my time to total strangers But now it feels as though the the day goes on forever More than it ever did before *Until the night, until the night I just might make it Until the night, until the night When I see you again Now you're afraid that we have changed And I'm afraid we're getting older So many broken hearts, so many lonely faces So many lovers come and gone I'll have my fears like every man You'll have you tears like every woman Today we'll be unsure, is this what we believe in And wonder how can we go wrong *Repeat When the sun goes down And the day is over When the last of the light has gone As they pour into the street I will be getting closer As the cars turn their headlights on As they're closing it down I'm gonna open it up And while they're going to sleep We'll just be starting to touch I'm just beginning to feel I'm just beginning to give I'm just beginning to feel I'm just beginning to live Before I leave you again Before the light of dawn Before this evening can end I have been waiting so long Until the night, until the night I just might make it Until the night, until the night I'll just keep holding on Until the night, until the night When I see you again |

There was the cold and the night
Prophets and angels gave us the fire and the light Man was triumphant Armed with the faith and the will That even the darkest ages couldn't kill Too many kingdoms Too many flags on the field So many battles so many wounds to be healed Time is relentless Only true love perseveres It's been a long time and now I'm with you After two thousand years This is our moment Here at the crossroads of time We hope our children carry our dreams down the line They are the vintage What kind of life will they live? Is this a curse or a blessing that we give? Sometimes I wonder Why are we so blind to fate? Without compassion there can be no end to hate No end to sorrow Caused by the same endless fears Why can't we learn from all we've been through After two thousand years? There will be miracles After the last war is won Science and poetry rule in the new world to come Prophets and angels Gave us the power to see What an amazing future there will be And in the evening After the fire and the light One thing is certain nothing can hold back the night Time is relentless And as the past disappears We're on the verge of all things new We are two thousand years |

You don't look back because you know your hands are clean You make believe the past was just a dream You make believe the past was just a dream Turn around, turn around And I will sing for you a song I don't know where you been But you've been gone too long Oh, Elisa, you must begin again And all the roads that you have walked are comin' to an end I was your lover but I thought I was your friend I loved you but I thought I was your friend Turn around, turn around And I will sing for you a song I don't know where you been But you've been gone too long Oh, sweet lady, stand beside the sea Maybe you will find a little time to think of me Won't you please remember what I tried so hard to be Yeah, remember what I tried so hard to be So turn around, turn around And I will sing for you a song And I don't know where you been But you've been gone too long |

Hey Lord, take a look all around And I'd a-find where my baby's gonna be. Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight 'Cause she is far across the sea. Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight And make sure that she's gonna be alright And things are gonna be alright with me. Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight And make sure that all her dreams are sweet. Said now, would ya guide her on the roads And make them softer for her feet. Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight And make sure that she's gonna be alright Until she's home and here with me. Hey, Lord would ya look out for her tonight If she is sleepin' under the sky. Said now, make sure the ground she's sleepin' on Is always warm and dry. Ummm, don'tcha give her too much rain, Try to keep her away from pain Because my baby hates to cry. Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight 'Cause it gets rough along the way. Said now, this song seems strange is just because I don't know how to pray. Ummm, won'tcha give her peace of mind, And if you ever find the time Won'tcha tell her I miss her everyday. Hey Lord, take a look all around And I'd a-find where my baby's gonna be. Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight 'Cause she is far across the sea. Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight And make sure that she's gonna be alright Until she's home and here with me.

I've been livin' for the moment
But I just can't have my way And I'm afraid to go to sleep 'Cause tomorrow is today People tell me life is sweeter But I don't hear what they say Nothing comes to change my life So tomorrow is today I don't care to know the hour 'Cause it's passing anyway I don't have to see tomorrow 'Cause I saw it yesterday So I listen for an answer But the feeling seems to stay And what's the use of always dreaming If tomorrow is today Still I'm waiting for the morning But it feels so far away And you don't need the love I'm giving So tomorrow is today Oh, my. Goin' to the river Gonna take a ride and the Lord will deliver me Made my bed, now I'm gonna lie in it If you don't come, I'm sure gonna die in it Too late. Too much given I've seen a lot of life and I'm damn sick of livin' it I keep hopin' that you will pass my way And some day if your dreams are leavin' you I'll still believe in you I don't care to know the hour 'Cause it's passing anyway I don't have to see tomorrow 'Cause I saw it yesterday Though I'm living and I'm singing And although my hands still play Soon enough it will all be over 'Cause tomorrow is today |

The cold hands, the sad eyes
The dark Irish silence It's so late, but I'll wait Through the long night with you With you The warm tears, the bad dreams The soft trembling shoulders The old fears, but I'm here Through the long night with you With you Oh, what has it cost you I almost lost you A long, long time ago Oh, you should have told me But you had to bleed to know All your past sins are since past You should be sleeping It's all right, sleep tight Through the long night with me With me No, I didn't start it You're broken hearted From a long, long time ago Oh, the way you hold me Is all that I need to know And it's so late, but I'll wait Through the long night with you With you |

I wasn′t ready for a romance Didn′t we promise We would only be friends And so we danced Though it was only a slow dance I started breaking my promises Right there and then Didn′t I swear There would be no complications Didn′t you want Someone who′s seen it all before Now that you′re here It′s not the same situation Suddenly I don′t remember the rules anymore This night is mine It′s only you and I Tomorrow Is a long time away This night can last forever I′ve been around Someone like me should know better Falling in love Would be the worst thing I could do Didn′t I say I needed time to forget her Aren′t you running from someone Who′s not over you How many nights Have I been lonely without you I tell myself How much I really don′t care How many nights Have I been thinking about you Wanting to hold you But knowing you would not be there This night You′re mine It′s only you and I I′ll tell you To forget yesterday This night we are together This night Is mine It′s only you and I Tomorrow Is such a long time away This night can last forever Tomorrow Is such a long time away This night can last forever |

We walked on the beach beside that old hotel.
They're tearing it down now, but it's just as well. I haven't shown you everything a man can do, So stay with me baby, I've got plans for you. This is the time to remember, Cuz it will not last forever. These are the days to hold on to, Cuz we won't although we'll want to. This is the time But time is gonna change. You've given me the best of you, And now I need the rest of you. Did you know that before you came into my life, It was some kind of miracle that I survived. Some day we will both look back and have to laugh. We lived through a lifetime, and the aftermath. This is the time to remember, Cuz it will not last forever. These are the days to hold on to, Cuz we won't although we'll want to. This is the time But time is gonna change. I know we've gotta move somehow, But I don't want to lose you now. Sometimes it's so easy to let a day slip on by Without even seeing each other at all. But this is the time you'll turn back to and so will I. And those will be days you can never recall. And so we embrace again behind the dunes. This beach is so cold on winter afternoons. Ah, but holding you close is like holding the summer sun. I'm warm from the memory of days to come. |

Well we all have a face
That we hide away forever And we take them out and show ourselves When everyone has gone Some are satin some are steel Some are silk and some are leather They're the faces of the stranger But we love to try them on Well we all fall in love But we disregard the danger Though we share so many secrets There are some we never tell Why were you so surprised That you never saw the stranger Did you ever let your lover see That stranger in yourself? Don't be afraid to try again Everyone goes south Every now and then You've done it, why can't someone else? You should know by now You've been there yourself Once I used to believe I was such a great romancer Then I came home to a woman That I could not recognize When I pressed her for a reason She refused to even answer It was then I felt the stranger Kick me right between the eyes Well we all fall in love But we disregard the danger Though we share so many secrets There are some we never tell Why were you so surprised That you never saw the stranger Did you ever let your lover see The stranger in yourself? Don't be afraid to try again Everyone goes south Every now and then You've done it, why can't someone else? You should know by now You've been there yourself You may never understand How the stranger in inspired But he isn't always evil And he isn't always wrong Though you drown in good intentions You will never quench the fire You'll give in to your desire When the stranger comes along |

from Billy Joel - River Of Dreams (1993)
In the middle of the night 한밤이 되면 I go walking in my sleep 나는 잠에 빠진 채 걸을을 옮깁니다 From the mountains of faith 신념의 산에서 To the river so deep 깊고 깊은 강으로 I must be looking for something 나는 뭔가를 찾아야만 합니다 Something sacred I lost 내가 잃어버렸던 신성한 그 무엇을 But the river is wide 하지만 그 강은 너무 넓어서 And it's too hard to cross 건너기가 너무 힘들지요 And even though I know the river is wide 그강이 넓다는 걸 알고 있지만 I walk down every evening And stand on the shore 나는 매일 저녁이 되면 강으로 내려갑니다 I try to cross to the opposite side 강의 저 편으로 건너가려 애쓰지요 So I can finally find what i've been looking for 찾아오고 있던 것을 끝끝내 알아내기 위하여 In the middle of the night 함밤이 되면 I go walking in my sleep 나는 잠에 빠진 채 걸음을 옮깁니다 Through the valley of fear 두려움의 계곡을 지나 To a river so deep 깊고 깊은 강을 향하여 I'm a searcher for something Taken out of my soul 나는 내 영혼에서 빠져나간 그 무엇을 찾고 있어요 Something I'd never lose 내가 잃어버린 게 아니라 Something somebody stole 누군가 앗아가버린 그 무엇을 I don't know why i go walking at night 나는 왜 밤만 되면 걸음을 옮기는지 모르겠어요 But now I'm tired and I don't wanna walk anymore 하지만 이젠 지쳐서 더 이상 걷고싶지 않군요 Hope it doesn't take the rest of my life 내가 찾고 있던 그것이 무엇이었나 알 수 있을 때까지 Until I find what it is I've been looking for 한 평생을 다 바치고 싶지는 않은데... In the middle of the night 한밤이 되면 I go walking in my sleep 나는 잠에 빠진 채 걸음을 옮깁니다 Through the jungle of doubt To the river so deep 의혹의 밀림을 지나 저 깊은 강으로 I know I'm searching for something 나는 무언가를 찾고 있습니다 Something so undefined That it can only be seen by the eyes of the blind 맹인의 눈으로만 볼 수 있는 불확실한 그 무엇을 In the middle of the night 한밤이 되면 I'm not sure about a life after this 이 세상 다음의 삶에 대해서 나는 알지 못해요 God knows I've never been a spiritual man 내가 경건한 사람이 아니었다는 건 하느님도 잘 알지요 Baptized by the fire 나는 불로 세례를 받은 채 I wade into the river That is running to the promised land 약속된 땅으로 흘러가는 강물을 헤쳐갑니다 In the middle of the night 한밤이 되면 I go walking in my sleep 나는 잠 속에서 걸음을 옮깁니다 Though the desert of truth 진실의 사막을 건너 To the river so deep 깊고 깊은 저 강을 향하여 We all end in the ocean 우리는 모두 큰 바다에서 끝을 맺습니다 We all start in the streams 우리는 모두 작은 개울에서 시작되었죠 We're all carried along By the river of dreams 우리는 모두 강물처럼 넘실대는 꿈을 타고서 머나먼 곳으로 실려갑니다

Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time Oh, oh, oh For the longest time If you said goodbye to me tonight There would still be music left to write What else could I do I'm so inspired by you That hasn't happened for the longest time Once I thought my innocence was gone Now I know that happiness goes on That's where you found me When you put your arms around me I haven't been there for the longest time Oh, oh, oh For the longest time Oh, oh, oh For the longest time I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall And the greatest miracle of all Is how I need you And how you needed me too That hasn't happened for the longest time Maybe this won't last very long But you feel so right And I could be wrong Maybe I've been hoping too hard But I've gone this far And it's more that I hoped for Who knows how much further we'll go on Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone I'll take my chances I forgot how nice romance is I haven't been there for the longest time I had second thoughts at the start I said to myself Hold on to your heart Now I know the woman that you are You're wonderful so far And it's more that I hoped for I don't care what consequence it brings I have been a fool for lesser things I want you so bad I think you ought to know that I intend to hold you for The longest time |

Advice is cheap you can take it from me
It's yours to keep 'cause opinions are free Nobody knows about the trouble I've seen Nobody's perfect, mister, nobody's clean It cost too much and takes too long to find out too late Some words are not heard 'til after they're spoken Your role was protective, your soul was too defective Some people just don't have a heart to be broken We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China If you'd only had a little more faith in me In lieu of diamonds, gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright All the king's men and all the king's horses Can't put you together the way you used to be We could have been standing on the Great Wall of China You take a piece of whatever you touch Too many pieces means you're touching too much You never win if you can't play it straight You only beat me if you get me to hate It must be so lonely to think that you have only Somebody else's life to live if they let you I ain't too selective, but it don't take no detective To find out how fast your friends will forget you We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China Now all you're going to be is history Help yourself, it's all you can eat at the Empire Diner tonight You coulda had class, you coulda have been a contender Charlie, you shoulda looked out for me You could have been standing, standing on the Great Wall of China This was not your calling, just look how far you've fallen I heard your story, man, you've got to be joking Keep things in perspective, this is my true objective Why tear this heart out if it's only been broken? We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China If you'd only had a little more faith in me In lieu of diamonds, gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright All the king's men and all the king's horses Can't put you together the way you used to be We could have been standing, standing on the Great Wall of China |

Flyin' east on a plane
Drinkin' all that free champagne I guess I saw this comin' down the line And I know it should be fun But I think I should've packed my gun Got that old suburban showdown in my mind Sit around with the folks Tell the same old tired jokes Bored to death on Sunday afternoon Mom and Dad, me and you And the outdoor barbecue Think I'm gonna hide out in my room I've been gone for a while Made some changes in my style And they say you can't go home anymore Well the streets all look the same And I'll have to play the game We'll all sit around in the kitchen chairs With the TV on and the neighbors there Out in the yard Where my Daddy worked so hard He never lets the crab grass grow too high Oh, the place hasn't changed And that's why I'm gonna feel so strange But I'll have to face the music by and by I've been gone for a while Made some changes in my style And they say you can't go home anymore Well the streets all look the same And I'll have to play the game We'll all sit around in the kitchen chairs With the TV on and the neighbors there Drive into town When this big bird touches down I'm only comin' home to say goodbye Then I'm gone with the wind And I won't be seen again Till that great suburban showdown in the sky Till that great suburban showdown in the sky |

I am the entertainer, and I know just where I stand,
Another serenader and another long-haired band Today I am your champion, I may have won your hearts But I know the game you''ll forget my name And I won''t be here in another year If I don''t stay on the charts I am the entertainer and I''ve had to pay my price, The things I did not know at first I learned by doing twice But still they come to haunt me, Still they want their say, So I''ve learned to dance with a hand in my pants I let ''em rub my neck and I write ''em a check And they go their merry way I am the entertainer, been all around the world, I''ve played all kinds of palaces and laid all kinds of girls I can''t remember faces, I don''t remember names, But what the hell, you know it''s just as well ''Cause after a while and a thousand miles It all becomes the same I am the entertainer, I bring to you my songs, I''d like to spend a day or two, but I can''t stay that long I got to meet expenses, I got to stay in line, Got to get those fees to the agencies And I''d love to stay but there''s bills to pay So I just don''t have the time I am the entertainer, I''ve come to do my show, You''ve heard my latest record spin on the radio It took me years to write it, they were the best years of my life, It was a beautiful song, but it ran too long If you''re gonna have a hit you gotta make it fit So they cut it down to 3:05 I am the entertainer, the idol of my age, I make all kinds of money when I go on the stage You see me in the papers, I''ve been in the magazines, But if I go cold, I won''t get sold, I get put in the back in a discount rack Like another can of beans I am the entertainer and I know just where I stand, Another serenader and another long-haired band Today I am your champion, I may have won your hearts, But I know the game, you''ll forget my name, I won''t be here in another year If I don''t stay on the charts |

Well I'm on the Downeaster "Alexa" And I'm cruising through Lond Island Sound I have chartered a course to the Vineyard But tonight I am Nantucket bound We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday And left this morning from the bell in Gardner's Bay Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the bone So I could own my Downeaster "Alexa" And I go where the ocean is deep There are giants out there in the canyons And a good captain can't fall asleep I've got bills to pay and children who need clothes I know there's fish out there but where God only knows They say these waters aren't what they used to be But I've got people back on land who count on me So if you see my Downeaster "Alexa" And if you work with the rod and the reel Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis And I still have my hands on the wheel Now I drive my Downeaster "Alexa" More and more miles from shore every year Since they told me I can't sell no stripers And there's no luck in swordfishing here I was a bayman like my father was before Can't make a living as a bayman anymore There ain't much future for a man who works the sea But there ain't no island left for islanders like me |

Well I'm on the Downeaster Alexa
And I'm cruisin' through Block Island Sound I have charted a course to the vineyard But tonight I am Nantucket bound We took on diesel back in Mantauk yesterday And left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home Too proud to leave I work my fingers to the bone So I could own my Downeaster Alexa And I go where the ocean is deep There are giants out there in the canyons And a good captain can't fall asleep I got bills to pay and children who need clothes I know there's fish out there but where, God only knows They say these waters aren't what they used to be But I've got people back on land who count on me So if you see my Downeaster Alexa And if you work with the rod and the reel Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis And I still have my hands on the wheel Now I drive my Downeaster Alexa More and more miles from shore every year Since they told me I can't sell no stripers And there's no luck in swordfishing here I was a Bayman like my father was before Can't make a living as a Bayman anymore There ain't much future for a man who works the sea But there ain't no island left for Islanders like me Ya-ya-ya-oh Ya-ya-ya-oh Ya-ya-ya-oh Ya-ya-ya-oh |

And the cowboys and their kin Like the sea came pourin' in To watch the hangin' of Billy the Kid Well he never travel'ed heavy Yes, he always rode alone And he soon put many older guns to shame Well he never had a sweetheart But he finally found a home Underneath the Boot Hill grave that bears his name From a town known as Oyster Bay, Long Island Rode a boy with a six-pack in his hand And his daring life of crime Made him a legend in his time East and West of the Rio Grande |

It's time for me to be on my way I know
I've got business to conduct And I've got places to go But I can't help looking at her sleeping instead Another morning I'll have trouble climbing out of this bed Because - she's such a temptation It's driving me crazy And it's my fascination That's making me act this way And I know what all my friends say They're afraid that I'm losing my touch But she's such a temptation I look so tired cause I don't get much sleep And I've got too many commitments that are too hard to keep And I try to be rational And I try to be wise But it all gets blown to pieces When I look in her eyes Because - She's such a temptation And nothing can save me And my only salvation Is tearing myself away And I know what all of my friends say There's a danger in wanting too much But she's such a temptation I should be leaving But I can't cut loose I have my reasons for resistance But I have no excuse And I lose my composure I could use some restraint I never claimed to be a hero And I never said I was a saint She's such a temptation It's driving me crazy And it's my fascination That's making me act this way And I can just hear all my friends say "Better watch out, you're losing your touch" But she's such a temptation Yes she is She's such a temptation Yes she is Yes she is She's such a temptation |

Don't want to see you let a good thing Slip away You know I don't like watching Anybody make the same mistakes I made She's a real nice girl And she's always there for you But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do Listen boy I'm sure that you think you got it all Under control You don't want somebody telling you The way to stay in someone's soul You're a big boy now You'll never let her go But that's just the kind of thing She ought to know Tell her about it Tell her everything you feel Give her every reason to accept That you're for real Tell her about it Tell her all your crazy dreams Let her know you need her Let her know how much she means Listen boy It's not automatically a certain guarantee To insure yourself You've got to provide communication constantly When you love someone You're always insecure And there's only one good way To reassure Tell her about it Let her know how much you care When she can't be with you Tell her you wish you were there Tell her about it Every day before you leave Pay her some attention Give her something to believe Cause now and then She'll get to worrying Just because you haven't spoken For so long Though you may not have done anything Will that be a consolation when she's gone Listen boy It's good information from a man Who's made mistakes Just a word or two that she gets from you Could be the difference that it makes She's a trusting soul She's put her trust in you But a girl like that won't tell you What you should do Tell her about it Tell her everything you feel Give her every reason To accept that you're for real Tell her about it Tell her all your crazy dreams Let her know you need her Let her know how much she means Tell her about it Tell her how you feel right now Tell her about it The girl don't want to wait too long You got to tell her about it Tell her now and you won't go wrong You got to tell her about it Before it gets too late You got to tell her about it You know the girl don't want To wait - you got to Tell her about it |

Don't get excited
Don't say a word Nobody noticed Nothing was heard It was committed discreetly It was handled so neatly And it shouldn't surprise you at all You know Break all the records Burn the cassettes I'd be lying if I told you That I had no regrets There were so many mistakes And what a difference it makes But still it shouldn't surprise you at all You know I said it shouldn't surprise you at all You know Don't look now but you have changed Your best friends wouldn't tell you Now it's apparent Now it's a fact So marshal your forces For another attack You were so young and naive I know it's hard to believe But now it shouldn't surprise you at all You know No it shouldn't surprise you at all You know What has it cost you What have you won The sins of the fathers Are the sins of the sons It was always within you It will always continue But it shouldn't surprise you at all You know I said it shouldn't surprise you at all You know |

from Billy Joel - Turnstiles (1976)
They say that these are not the best of times
But they're the only times I've ever known And I believe there is a time for meditation In cathedrals of our own Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes And I can only stand apart and sympathize For we are always what our situations hand us It's either sadness or euphoria So we'll argue and we'll compromise And realize that nothing's ever changed For all our mutual experience Our separate conclusions are the same Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity A reason coexists with our insanity And though we choose between reality and madness It's either sadness or euphoria How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies And as we stand upon the ledges of our lives With our respective similarities It's either sadness or euphoria Oh! Oh, oh! |
