Lyrics:
Goodnight, my angel
Time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what
You've been asking me
I think you know
What I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Wherever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away

My daddy sang this to all five of us kids. He was killed October 5th 2010 at just 42 years old. We played it at his funeral and I finally understood the meaning of it that day. On his headstone it says “Some day we’ll all be gone but lullabies go on and on.” I was just 16 when he was taken from me. Now I just rocked my very own son to sleep to this song. I love you daddy you’re always in my heart!💜
I'm so sorry. My dad died at 39 and my brother killed 4 years later at 17. I think I know a bit of what you're feeling. Hold on to those memories and cherish that son. I, too, was blessed with one a year later. Much love.
@@dsmith7189 same to you Deanna. Its horrible how much you’ve been through. I’m so sorry.
My birthday 🥳
Such a sad loss but you had the gift of a very loving Father
@@user-mu7bz6lr1j absolutely the greatest gift was loving parents! after my daddy passed away us siblings used to say we were robbed but one day after enough healing, i realized i was never robbed, in fact we hit the jackpot with our father. his life was cut short but i dont have one bad memory of my daddy and my siblings dont either! thats pretty dang lucky if you ask me, considering some have never met their father or only have terrible memories. I thank God for my daddy and his life no matter if it was cut short.
Beautifuly sang by him
Hi Peggy
I sang this song rocking my daughter to sleep at night 26 years ago and tonight she is rocking my first grandaughter to sleep to the same sing ....my heart is full.
Wow, the song is beautiful and emotional..
I love it
Beautiful song 🎵 ❤❤
Wow, that's amazing 😘
Amazing! I just had the same beautiful surprise. My daughter is 22 and imagine the emotions as a mom came up when I walked in her room she was humming her daughter this song. Thanks for sharing!!
@@jeopatrick2378Billy Joel
My Father died on December 27th, 1994. As I was leaving the hospital after identifying his body, this is the song that came up on the CD. I hadn’t ever heard it, because the CD was new to me and it hadn’t gotten to this cut.
When it started to play, the car got very warm and I felt like I was being hugged. I had to pull over on the Capital Beltway in the DC area, and I started crying uncontrollably. It was my Father coming back and telling me that he loved me, and that he would always be with me. Even the Emerald Bay was the Chesapeake Bay, where we had a house when I was young.
In about 20 months, it will be 30 years since this happened, and still I am brought to uncontrollable sobs by this song. Each time I hear it, I know that he is with me, although I am 60 years old and have a grown son now (named after him) that he never got to meet. This is our song, and it will be my song to my son when it is my time to go. Thank you, Billy Joel. You have given this world a LOT of good, but this song was divinely inspired, and had brought healing and comfort to so very many of us. Your robe in heaven is set, in no small measure, because of this.
Beautiful Story and thanks for sharing. Best to you always, Bill
@@wwonka52: Thank you, Bill!
@@mochalattemiss Hello Sheila.. how are you doing?
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful remembrance. I had a similar experience and this song is special to me too.
What you wrote brought me to tears, partly because I never really had a dad...
Billy Joel may be known for his catchy rock tunes, but his poetry will always be in my heart.
Nothing can beat the greats. Thank you Billy Joel for such great music. 2024
There is a quality to Billy's voice, the tone and emotion, it's a very masculine voice, authoritative, comforting. A Dad voice I guess. Whatever he sings, I always believe him.
I remember, when I was just out of highscool, I was in the other room when I heard my mom play this song for my dad, who was in the late stages of early-onset Alzheimer's, to try to calm him down enough to go to sleep. I remember in that moment feeling heartbroken for my mom who was now losing her partner at a rate quicker than ever. He finally succumbed to the disease not too long after. Almost 10 years later, I just played this song for my 3-month-old daughter and it put her right to sleep. Now here I am, shedding tears of pure love ❤️
Hello 👋how are you doing today?
God bless you and all those whom you love
One of my favorite singers and lovely song ❤
@8GoodGod-gmail im fine thanks how are you?
This is my fathers song to me. He died on July 10, 2010 when I was 25 and I listen to it whenever I miss him. I love you Dad.
Im sorry for your loss..:-[♥♡
SORENDW55524
My birthday is July 10th, I'm so sorry for your loss
I feel yah, my dad passed about a year before that and billy joel was his favorite so id always listen to his music growing up. this song tears me up bad when i hear it, i can barely see through the tears to type this.
My dad sang it to me when I was lil to it always made me cry 😞
I heard in an interview that Billy wrote this song for his daughter in a sad period in his life right before the divorce from Christie Brinkley. Heartbroken to leave his daughter, he wanted to let Alexa know that although he'd be away from her more, she was always in his heart and he was always in this song..
My beloved cat, Bear, passed away yesterday and I played this song for her while she was in a deep sleep. My poor baby had cancer and on top of that, diabetes. She kept getting worse until it was time to say goodbye.
To my beautiful angel, goodbye and goodnight. I'll always have you in my heart. My love, my angel, my sweet pea, my Bear Bear.❤
Far and away the most underrated Billy Joel song ever
Turtle HeadLyfe I will have to disagree so it goes takes that title chief
Certainly is!
Could not agree more. We buried my dad this morning and Billy Joel was one of his favorites - we played this song as an integral part of his service.
So beautiful ❤️

This is truly an heirloom. Precious and memorable.
Billy Joel is one of this world's greatest poets. He is up there with many others. Difference is he means what he has written and this is conveyed in this particular tune. Thanks Billy.
Good night everyone. Sweet dreams, peace, love and happiness.💕😘🥰
I have played this for my daughter since she was born. She's almost 10 now.
Recently, my mother fell very ill and from diagnosis to the day she passed away, it was six short months. I've never known my mother to fear anything. I was with her everyday for the last three weeks of her life. She asked me to play "Liv's song". I played this for her every night. I also played it right after she passed away, peacefully at home.
It's got a whole new meaning to me now. None the less, it's an important part of my own life's soundtrack.
Goodnight sweet angel, I'll see you on the other side, mom. Forever love.
That sucks... If I were to ever die before my mommy, I'd hope for this song to play. (I'm 12 and I'm calling my mom 'mommy', guess I just miss her that much)
I'm very sorry for your loss😭
its ok to miss her, I am sure she was a wonderful mother... your memories are gods way of keeping her close to you..just remember , I know she is watching over you and protecting you.and I also know she loves you very much...god speed...
Heather Parodi ....I read your comment. ... I believe in Love Sis, I believe in strength Sis ... definitely a tear jurker. . a few sincere of my eyes from my Heart SisterStranger ... God Bless you and your family.. Love and Strength to you all . And thank you for sharing .
So sad and so precious of you to post this! I want this song played at my funeral, dedicated to my husband, the love of my life, and I want him to take the words to heart. Though I may be "asleep," I, like your mother, will "always be a part of" of them.
This was the song i danced to at my wedding with my Dad. It's been our song since I was a little girl.
I lost my son, Dustin Paul Davison, on 5-22-2002. Today is 5-22-2016. This song reminds me of him. I love you :)
may he rest in peace
I'm so sorry to hear that. I can't imagine what that must be like. Again, I'm sorry. I prayed for you and for God's comfort for you when I read your comment
I'm sorry to hear that. He is in a much better place now.God loves you!
Sorry for your loss
I hope you see him, folded into dimensions eyes can't see, indelibly there in memories never lost, just out of reach, always in your heart.
My father used to always play just the way you are by billy joel to me as a baby. When he passed away i found myself listening to this song. 2.14.2020 i gave birth to my daughter michaela grace ( named after my father ) & I'm singing this to her now as she falls asleep. I'm 24 years old and am understanding how life can be a beautiful thing.
Your daughter has a beautiful name. I have my own Michaela Grace, born 3.15.2006, and I sang this song to her when she was younger, too. You’re in for so many wonderful times and beautiful memories. And how lucky you both are that your father will be watching over both of you. I wish you all the best.
Billy is the type you don't want to be star struck around, you just want to hand shake him with massive respect.
My little boy pass away on 27th September 2017 age of 9. Play this song time and time again. Yes had this song at his funeral. Missing you my little Prince xxxxxx
If I had known about this song for my son's funeral I would have played it
He was 6
My mom passed away september 28 2017. I played this song on my phone through the funeral homes speakers (the director let me. He knew my mom) wasnt a dry eye in the house.
awww im so sorry how
❤
My dad passed away unexpectedly late last year, and the thing that always brought us (him, my sister, and I) together the most was Billy's music. Lullaby was our song. When I was 7, Dad took me to my first ever concert--Billy Joel, of course! Billy played Lullaby that night. Dad and I went on to see him together 2 more times before his passing. Now, anytime Lullaby comes on, I feel like it's my dad stopping by to say hi. I can't wait to see Billy perform again in Nashville in May. Dad may not be physically there with me, but he will certainly be there in my heart. Thanks for the gift of your music, Billy!
Hello caltlin.. how are you doing?
Wow, My Dad passed away few months ago and he love Bill joel too❤
I just can’t believe how beautiful this song is...
One of his best!!!
I dedicate this to My dog who is named Angel!
It will live forever❤

Mothers , Fathers, and parents all over the world over: We LOVE you.
Just sang this to my newborn daughter. We had terrible 2 weeks since she was born.
She came with a broken leg to this World. She and my wife were seperated from me for two weeks.
I‘m glad she is Home now. I will never leave her side again
my wife was an angel she is i hope at peace with the angels i know you have been gone since July 8th 2016 but your son and daughter and husband miss you every day love you always your family
Can’t listen to this song without getting teary eyed
Billy can't sing it live unless he gets angry at the people where he's playing heading off to the toilet. He can't think about the words he's singing or he gets emotional. I'm not surprised, this song is so beautiful and so heartbreaking.
The purrrrfkt song !!!!!
A transcendental beauty.
My 4 y-o daughter just asked me "Daddy. Do grown ups cry?"
"Yes, love. Why?"
"Because this song is sad."
"Sweetie. Sometimes, things are sad but beautiful. So, even if you cry, it doesn't mean the song is not beautiful."
Her little soul was touched by the song. These little moments are MAGIC.
i did 😢
You calling her love made me cry
Mágico,es así
R/thathappened
There is no shame in crying at this amazingly beautiful song.
I've been singing this song to my son every night since he was born. He's only four now but he already loves and knows it... And falls asleep singing it with me. Thank you Billy Joel...
This is bringing me to complete TEARS thinking about those poor lil kids at that elementary school shooting in Texas. God Bless all those innocent beautiful children. Sleep in perfect peace lil Angels. Smh
My husband woke up early to play this song at 6:30am yesterday, Jan 23, 2023 on the 1 year anniversary of our beloved 16 year old cat's exact time of passing. 😢
Hello 👋how are you doing?
Pet loss is always difficult.they are family.
Do you have any good tales about your kitty?how was he like?
I CANNOT believe I made it through the song & video without crying…then I read your comment. All animals go to Heaven. Be well.
My hamster died I've never been missing I miss him everyday
I lost two of my darling little kitties, my Rachel, who was 22 yrs old when she passed, and my Marie, who was 21 when she passed. I had them both since they were tiny kittens, and there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss my two little girls. They were both “Torties”, or Tortoise Shell Tabbies, and were so beautiful, and so smart and so funny and unique. I will never forget them.
I am so very sorry for the loss of your little kitty. Remember, even though you cannot see them, they are always near you, and one day, when God says it’s our time to leave this place, we will see them again. ❤
my mom used to sing me to sleep with this song. every time i hear it now i cry. she hasn’t sang it to me in a while, i really hope she hasn’t forgotten
My mom gave me this tape one Easter....made me cry then, makes me cry now.
My aunt and uncle loved this song, and played it for their grandkids. Shortly after this came out, my uncle died, and this was played at his funeral. His four year old granddaughter looked over to his casket, and said "Grandpa, it's our song." 28 years later I still cannot remember this without tearing up. Thank you, Billy.
Gave me goosebumps! Thank you, an old favorite of mine forever.

I never heard this song before. It's funny how I stumbled on to it today. 42 years ago today, my 2 month old daughter died of crib death, I found her dead body in her crib, I held her in my arms until the ambulance came, then I never saw her again. Her name was Angel Grace. I'm not a very emotional guy, but this video has me in tears.
I'm so sorry for your loss
My mom lost a baby at 5mths to crib death. Today I have a 2mth old named after him. I'm so sorry for your loss.
my dad sang this to me a few times when i was little and i even have the book in my closet and it always makes me cry
This was the song my dad chose for our dance at my wedding. Needless to say we were both crying the whole time. God bless all the fathers out there who treat their daughters like their angels.
My father treated me like his angel 😇 💓
My fiancé does to his step daughter it’s so romantic when he does sing this song to my baby girl
That's funny, I was just thinking that, but it's way too late now. The problem if I had is exactly what you stated, and I don't know if her makeup was waterproof.
Kudos to your dad, maybe the best choice available.
I surprised my dad with this song for our father daughter dance at my wedding, not only were we crying, but so was everyone at the wedding. ❤️
Is this Adam Sandler daughter ?
My niece played this at my bestie, sister's, funeral. Heart wrenching. And fitting with my sis. I remember her coming home as a teenager from a concert, showing me her hand. Saying, " I'm never washing it!!". He touched her. As he does all of us.
Lost my Mum 3 days before my Birthday in August. We used to listen to Billy Joel while doing puzzles. The line that hits me "I think I know what you've been asking me, I think you know what I've been trying to say. I promised I would never leave you and you should always know, wherever you may go, no matter where you are I will never be far away." The day she passed, she was asking me what I wanted to do for my Birthday. Well I wish to see both you and Dad just one more time.
To see you happy and together again, happy, that is my dream and wish. I hot through Thanksgiving and just hoping we can manage Christmas without you both. The family, the people who came that had no family. You both had the biggest hearts. I did it too for awhile, but this being the first year without you Mom....well I am going to hear you singing this song, even though you couldn't carry a tune. LOL, you will both be a part of me.❤😢😢
Has anyone else heard the version that Leanne Ryme did for the Billy Joel tribute concert? If that version doesn’t make you cry then you have no heart.
This was the lullaby that I sang for my boys when I put them to bed. Now, my eldest is getting married and has asked me to sing it at their reception. I love it and Billy Joel, of course. Treasure each moment with your children and families all. And God Bless you.
The purest love song to every child..... even at 14 my eldest who couldn't sleep without me humming, singing, whistling or recorder playing.. even when playing now, behind me my son at 14 is humming hoping i don't hear him, but dang right i hear it...... but increased volume to give him some free space, and we will go gather a fistful of sunlight, dandelions... in every button hole and hand and ear, and hat.... yeah, daanny-LINE season.......... wow.
my daughter sent this to me last night and I couldn't stop the tears🥲, love you baby girl BFF

This song always got to me, but it's especially more powerful now. I'm a father, and still reeling from the loss of both my parents: My dad to cancer, mom to a stroke.
Sending you love and light, friend
Sorry about your parents. They're the only people who've known you your whole life... Mine are gone too - Mom, 30 years ago, and Dad about 15 years ago. I still miss them - it doesn't hurt as much, but I still miss them. Good luck and ❤

2:58 (wait for it) The violin. A musical sigh. The loud inhale and the subtle exhale.
Just heard this at my precious friend's funeral ... Absolutely beautiful ..
A very beautiful song. And nobody sings it better than Billy Joel.
After I spoke at my daughter's wedding, I had the DJ play this song, surprising my daughter.
Prior to her wedding I had suffered two heart attacks. The second putting me in cardic-arrest, and a coma.
These were not due to smoking, eating badly, or drinking. It was stress, honest. Life will do that.
So, when I heard this song it meant so much to me as a message for her.
I thank you Billy Joel, from a fellow Long Islander.
:)
That's so sweet. Made me tear up a little. :)
+joseph anthony I had this played at my Wedding also. My Dad died from a work accident at 2:30 pm on Friday, March 29, 1996. He was 45 years old and I was 17. I miss him everyday and I still remember his face, since most people say it fades eventually. But most of all, I miss his hugs and will always remember when I was little, him tucking me into bed and whispering in my ear, "Daddy loves you," then kissing me on my forehead. I managed to cause everyone at my wedding to cry, lol. Be careful with your health, your little girl needs you, whether she knows it or not.
oh... abra. What you did was so beautiful. And i fully understand why.
My mom died when I was 22 years old. Three months after I married. She had cancer and had to lay in a lounge chair at the wedding.
Her face has not faded from me yet. I won't let it. So, do the same for your dad.
And yes, I will stay around as long as I am able to enjoy the things I wish she could have.
+joseph anthony both you & abra are making me tear up. But she's right about something. My Dad died when I was 37. Now I'm 53 & I'm still picking up the phone to call & tell him about 1 thing or another. Your daughter needs you. You've had 2 close calls. Please-take a ton of photos. Tell her all your stories. And always give her just 1 more hug. Bless you both!
nodak01 Thank you nodak01 for sharing that with us. Sorry for making you cry. I know how you feel. My Dad was the first man I ever met and he really was my hero. I even remember being asked when I was little, around 3 years old or so, who I would marry when I grew up, and I innocently said, "I'm gonna marry Daddy when I grow up." He was the one I modeled and wanted to be like. I love my Mom, but my Dad was the one who just got me and I felt closer to him then my Mom, even though I was close to her to, but she didn't understand me as well as him. I will never stop missing him and his face is still clear in my memory and hasn't faded, like people say it eventually does. I think that only happens when you literally let go and move on, but when you truly love someone and miss them, I think that their face never fades. I hope you are doing well and that nothing has happened to cause you to still be in grief, like bottling it up for years and then having to grieve later because you haven't yet. That happened to me, that's why I hope you are not in the same situation, because it causes problems that can stack pain on top of pain, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Anyway, I appreciate your understanding and empathy. It is really kind and I don't feel so alone. Sending you big HUGS, because I miss them the most from my Dad.
I heard this for the first time earlier today. It’s stuck with me ever since. What a beautiful song.
My dad listened to this song before and I was happy. Now I'm crying in front of his grave.
I am singing this to my Princess, my 14 years old cat who died today. And I can't stop crying.
I've seen billy perform yrs ago // I didn't get to meet my daughter until she was one ,It took a legal fight to prove she was mine ,now she is with me full time and I sung this song to her the first night I put her to sleep .it's so special to me❤️🥲
Hello how are you doing today?

As a 1980s kid on Long Island, I grew up with Billy Joel. While I enjoy many of his albums and songs, this is by FAR the most personal for me on many levels.

A absolutely beautiful song by a great poet
Beautyfull❤ our yongest son is past away last year, and this song make me melangolish❤😢
Billy Joel always made the most loving and tender of melodies.
serenerhapsody This song gets to me every time, even in my late 30s my father called me angel, and every time I hear it I cry my eyes out, He passed away Dec 2008. 12 years ago. I’m 49 now this song gets to me always, as I know he would still call me Angel
I agree
Err there are definitely some that aren’t so tender 😂 but all of them are amazing!

Every parent understands this song all too well. Beautiful
How does it happen - raising boys and living for them. So close. Can"t even see this computer screen right now as things go blurry. They got older. Me too. They are grown now and we are worlds apart. Damn it hurts. But being a dad is the best thing that ever happened to me.
Growing up, my dad always loved Billy Joel, he still does. So when this song came out, he would check the book out from the library and read/sing it to me. Now whenever I hear this song I can't help but to shed a tear or two while I remember all of the memories my dad and I shared growing up.
This is the song my Father picked for our dance at my wedding and I remember when I asked him what song he said lullaby “there won’t be a dry eye in the room “ boy was he right! My father suddenly passed away in July 23 and I’ll always have this memory among others! But we laughed the whole dance
We played this at my husbands funeral in 2015. When i play it i get tears in my eyes. Sally Ghatauray.
This song gets me every time !! I literally listened in the car today and started crying. The last couple of verses gets me !
I sang this song to our daughter 30 years ago when she was born and our son 28 years ago. It was our ritual at bed or nap time. Today, I got to sing it for our first grand baby
The last line is the kicker.
What a blessing this song is. My babies are all grown up now [35 & 37] and I couldn't love them anymore than I do. and they have kids too. Life is so amazing. Thank the Lord for the joy our children bring to us. we can take it with us when we leave this life.

Our son Luke died at 6 weeks old in Oct 2018. We asked family to pick songs to remember and honour his short life. My aunt picked this song and I had never heard it before. I listen to Lukey's beautiful spotify playlist everyday and this is my favourite song. Always makes me feel like its written for him and brings me some relief from the grief.

I remember when I was about 8 years old I was tucked in my bed by my mother and then my father comes into my bedroom and he grabs a stool to sit on and starts playing the beautiful song you wrote. I can’t wait to play this song in the future, it will bring back the wonderful memories I experienced.
Just a simple song written in 1993 by a father to his daughter Alexa Ray , to try and explain what happens to you when you die, while at the same time immortalizing them both.
“Some day we’ll all be gone, but lullabies go on, and on. They never die. That how you and I shall be.”
Alexa today is 37. This is her favorite song.
I once had a voice that I recorded and tracked over this video. A great many friends and strangers stated that they could not tell the difference between the two, humbly. I sang it to my two daughters, evidently along with the rest of the world. My youngest just had my first Granddaughter less than 6 months ago. Over the past years my recording has been lost due to moving and partial memory loss. I've recently been diagnosed with terminal illness which has diminished my voice. I'm going to, by sheer force of will, recover it and make a new recording. Thank You Mr. Joel for this timeless classical masterpiece, and to Alexa Ray Joel for the inspiration.
I’m so sorry to hear that you’re so ill. 💔

This song 🎵 is so precious and beautiful for one's Soul
Listening 14th August 2024 from Beautiful Bunbury Western Australia 🇦🇺 😊❤😊
I’m a whole ass metalhead. But this song makes me cry so fucking much bro. My mom claims she sang this to me when I was a baby but I obviously don’t remember it, yet somehow whenever it plays I’m immediately reminded of her
IKR same
same but i remember
Beautiful. I discovered this on my own and every time I hear it it makes me cry it's just so beautiful
It is the most moving song ever❤
Billy Joel
I sang this to my Daughter as I held her in my arms. There was something in me which knew I would not always be a part of her…. 🥹💔 I TRIED. I cry daily… 😢
This is delightful. It radiates decency tenderness and the love of a father for his little girl. How wonderful.
My lyrical dance as a kid. My dad wasn’t around as a kid and I always was so jealous that dads like this existed but such a beautiful song.
Billy Joel
I was born in 88 and Storm Front was the first album I sang to. The man will always be my favorite
This is one of the most deeply moving songs I’ve ever heard. It is rich in the kind of complex harmonies that bring tears on their own - but the lyrics are soul-touching, as well. That music will comfort and ground his daughter all her life. God bless such devoted fathers!
Lost my dad to cancer in 2019 when I was only 17. He always sang songs to me to put me to sleep when I was young. This gives me that feeling again as I picture him singing it to me. I miss you, dad ❤️
I am alive! My kids are alive! This song reminds me that one day we won't be. And, how will I deal with that?! "One day we'll all be gone, but lullabies go on and on. They never die. That's how you and I. Will Be.
How on earth could anyone say thumbs down to this song? It's so beautiful!
It could be because they are lucky enough not to have lost what you and I have lost.....or maybe they are in the crisis of unacceptance.....I hope peace for their heart, and this song of hope lifts them someday.
Everyone desires different things, and understanding that makes our world more friendly
Welp, your wish came true, there are no more dislikes
@@Novopao14That might sound like a rational answer but it sounds like someone making an apology for people with no compassion or feelings. Whatever floats your boat. Do you write to psychopaths in prison by any chance?
@@Novopao14Let's get one thing straight. This world is NOT friendly. It is filled with hate and bitterness. The only solace some people take is listening to warm lyrics. If someone dislikes a song like this, no need to defend them. They can boil in their own piss while I listen to a beautiful song that millions relate to.
As the father of a 12 year old daughter I need to send a warning to new dads of daughters... dont rush it. If I could go back in time to these bedtime moments, I'd let her stay up forever so the day never ended. Once the day ends, thats it. Its over. You'll never get that day back. No matter how much money you have or how strong you are. I regret the nights I rushed bedtime just because "I have a lot of work to do, I'm tired and just want to go to bed." Today id trade all my sleep and all the money I made to have one more night of songs, stories, prayers, laughs, hugs and kisses.

My daughter is getting married in 2 days and everything you said went through my mind today. Be in the moment when your kids are little, it passes so fast. How I wish I could go back to another day at the beach or a bedtime story.
@@RidgeMeadows1 congratulations on your daughter's wedding!

So true❤
This song just made me cry as I read some comments. Truth is- life is temporary, it is how we spend our time for people and everything we love and passionate about. Negative things are just a total waste of time- try to avoid being upset and frustrated- our worries and vexation will not matter when we die.
When I first heard this song, my son was about 8 years old and I had left him with my parents while I was on a business trip. I was sitting in a restaurant in Charleston, S.C. and burst in to tears when I heard this song. Now my son is about to become a dad for the first time. I immediately decided that this will be my grandson's first lullaby from me. 😊😍
hello
I am crying reading this. Brave by Sara Bareilles is the song I dedicated to my granddaughter. She is 6 now, going into 1st grade tomorrow.

Hello PAMELA Martin how are you doing
Pamela Martin Hello PAMELA
EVERY song this guy touches turns into gold.
I've been a fan since 9 years old, and Billy is still my favorite of all time. even above mercury, jackson, and elton
Yes. My father was a fan, and so I became one too as a child. Billy Joel will always be my absolute favourite. Everything he sings about has meaning and touches an aspect of the human condition.
Red Deer well said
In my eyes Billy Joel is the greatest musician of all time. Even greater than Bach himself.
I’ve been a fan since I was much younger, closer to 4 or 5, and this was the first song I ever heard him sing, apparently it would always put me to sleep as a child
Mine too. My dad raised me on a variety of music. Billy Joel remains my favorite artist and song writer.
I miss you mom. You said so long ago this song reminded you of me. I cannot begin to comprehend the hurt I feel without you here. R.I.P. Victoria Smith. The world has been dark since your passing. But don’t worry, I’m taking care of dad. Like I promised. 😭
Its right there with "Cats in the Cradle" If you have children it takes on a meaning that is hard to describe otherwise. Being a parent and having lost a parent this song hits a nerve. I cant listen to it without sobbing. Songs like this make Billy Joel so amazing.
Its so brilliant and raw and honest and real and beautiful.
If the Forest Gump producers added this....omg.
Thank you Billy and Alexa♡
So true!
Hello how are you doing?
The truly beautiful thing about this piece of music is that you can feel just how much this man loves his baby girl.
