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
Why don't the Beatles get back together? Why don't nobody sing of romance?
Billy Joel
Have you listened to the radio lately? Have you heard the canned, frozen and processed product being dished up to the world as American popular music today?
Billy Joel
You've got to be hard, like the rock in that old rock & roll.
Billy Joel
This is the time to remember cause it will not last forever. These are the days to hold onto cause we won't although we'll want to.
Billy Joel
