More quotes by Billy Joel
Slow down you're doing fine You can't be everything you want to 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 forfeit what you need Though you can see when you're wrong
Billy Joel

Billy Joel
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in / There's an old man sitting next to me making love to his tonic and gin / He says, 'Son, can you play me a memory?/ I'm not really sure how it goes / But it's sad and it's sweet, and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man's clothes.'
Billy Joel

Billy Joel
She can kill with a smile. 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. She hides like a child, but she's always a woman to me.
Billy Joel

Billy Joel
Critics have said I write without spontaneity, in cold blood. I don't. I write in hot blood.
Billy Joel
People in music lie, but they don't expect you to believe them. People in television actually expect you to believe the lies.
Billy Joel
We didn't start the fire 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

This is our moment, here at the cross-roads of time. Time is relentless and as the past dissappears, we're on the verge of all things new.
Billy Joel
There was only really one accident that was kinda bad but it was nothing to do with booze, just bad luck... I was having a hard time a couple of years ago... I'm a good driver, I just had bad luck.
Billy Joel
