Hey hey, I'm 22!
Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me. Hurray, I'm 22! No beautiful woman singing me happy birthday is going to make this day a bit more difficult than I remember my last birthday being. But God is in all things, and His good is everywhere.
"Brace Yourself"
So you think
You can hold the world up by a string
With all that you have
And I will hold every part of you that I could hold
And I'm on...
And I'm on again
Brace yourself
With all that you have
Enough, I'm in love again
Brace yourself
Yeah...
So you feel anything and everything could be
All that you wanted
Stay with me
I'm in no condition to be
Alone
And I'm on...
And I'm on again
Brace yourself
With all that you have
Enough, I'm in love again
Brace yourself
Now...
On and on
So it's just your false alarm
Maybe I'll hold my breathe
And you'll be gone
All that you have... yeah...
All that you wanted...
So you think
You can hold the world up by a string
With all that you have
And I will hold
Every part of you that I could hold
And I'm on
And I'm on again
Brace yourself with all that you have
Oh I'm in love again
Brace yourself... now...
Brace with all that you have
Brace now
Brace with all that you have
Brace now
Billy Joel
And So It Goes
In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along
I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense
And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose
But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break
And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
