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... Billy Joel
Billy Joel quote: "Like family, we are tied to each other. This is what all good..."
Like family, we are tied to each other. This is what all good musicians understand. Billy Joel
Billy Joel quote: "Musicians now find themselves in the unlikely position of..."
