Image
I definitely prefer being a lover than a fighter.
Billy Joel
Image
And so my child and I came to this place to meet him eye to eye and face to face. He made my daughter laugh, then we embraced. We never knew what friends we had, until we came to Leningrad.
Billy Joel
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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 lovers eyes...and I can only stand apart and sympathize...for we are only what our situations hand us...it's either sadness or euphoria.

I could walk away from anyone I ever knew, but I can't walk away from you.
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
Image
Let me go on sleeping and I will lose myself in palaces of sand, and all the fantasies that I've been keeping will make the empty hours easier to stand.
Billy Joel
Image
The piano sounds like a carnival and the microphone smells like a beer. And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar and say, man, what are you doing here?
Billy Joel
Image
I'm probably writing music now for the same reason as I started writing songs when I was 14 - to meet women.
Billy Joel
Image
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.
Billy Joel
Image
You can speak your mind But not on my time.
Billy Joel
Image
If you search for truthfulness, you might as well be blind.
Billy Joel
Image
You look so polished from your hair down to your toes, but still your finger's gonna pick your nose.
Billy Joel
Image
I am no longer afraid of becoming lost, because the journey back always reveals something new, and that is ultimately good for the artist.
Billy Joel
Image
She'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding.
Billy Joel
Image
If you tell kids they can't have something, that's what they want.
Billy Joel
Image
I won't be righteous again. I'm not sure anymore.
Billy Joel
Image
If it seems like I've been lost in 'lets remember', If it seems I'm gettin' older and missin' my younger days, well you shoulda known me much better, cause the past is something that never got in my way.
Billy Joel
Image
You've given me the best of you, but now I need the rest of you.
