Joel, Billy - And So It Goes Lyrics
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
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
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

Joel, Billy And So It Goes Comments
Listened to this song on the way to Tralfamadore.
In 2020, still here I am...
Jesus, it's so sad, and so true!
It’s Christmas Day, I’m drunk. Sitting on the floor in the bathroom after a shower. I can’t stop crying. I love him so much! Not another for me.
Mega talent with personal hurt
All night at parking lot 1988 to1989 ! Salt lake Beehive parking! Listening this real song! I was searching for you! I find you here in Brasil!
Perfection
I'd send this to everyone's In box, If I knew I was dying.
I have this song saved on my computer. It describes my social life almost perfectly. So much so that I cannot hear it, save for very special occasions. It's been on my computer for quite a while and I've only played it once or twice.
I was lucky to sing this beautiful song on stage in the 90's with The King's Singers in their gorgeous A Capella arrangement. It contains some of the most heartbreakingly beautiful chords ever written!
I still love and miss you Annie...Thanks for introducing me to this beautiful love song. Bri.
Girls, who looks better? Old Billy or Current Billy?
legend great songwriting great piano player great songs .
This is one of the best songs that has ever been written. Billy Joel at his heartbreaking best.
immer wieder schön. so berührend ... love this song.
Literally cannot hear this with a dry eye.
This is the perfect breakup song
I find it so touching how the audience is singing along. :'-)
if there are better songs than this they haven't been written yet
Awesome! I heard this song while listening to the Billy Joel channel on XM and just had to listen again with the lyrics.
such a talent
I've come to realize people come and go cars jobs possessions technology all the stuff we think we need ....and then it came to me Music the ultimate enduring gift from human or humans to the rest of us meer mortals never diies it is heard passed on and the next generation hears it again ..an everlasting gift and it's free 😎
First heard this song on a Hallmark Series called "Signed, Sealed, delivered." They played this during a scene where someone (Shane) was dealing with their unbelief and faith. This song was SO touching. I'm young, 13, and I really wasn't a fan of Billy J, but now...
Just went through a break up with the love of my life, thanks Billy for making this song, it relates to so many of us who need to say it, but can’t, do you did for us!
Ha, this song is a rip off of an old hymn
That is true about almost every piece of music ever written. get over it
Tears ...
Mukemmel
The most romantically deep love song ever written, so fucking beautiful
This has me tearing up every time I listen.
The lyrics are so beautiful.
Damn, look at that like to dislike ratio! Couldn’t imagine how anyone would want to dislike this either.
My dad showed me this song when I was very young, but I never really cared for Billy until a few years ago when my dad passed. I looked through his old Vinyls and found a little gem named "Storm Front." I cried for a good while. I sang this song at one of my choir concerts in high school for him, and cried again when I went to my first concert, and the crowd sang this song into the open night sky.
I love Billy Joel now, almost as much as I love my dad. Thanks Billy, thanks for reminding me of an old friend, and an even better father.
I am old now, and I have a collection of other peoples poetry, novels, movies, paintings and songs that live in the book case of me......that have guided me; helped me; along this path that has been my life. Just by listening, I feel something good, soothing, something that reminds me I am linked with others, others who have this in their collection. What better praise or compliment can a person have, better than all the riches in the world; to know that something you created makes others feel close.
The only best singer of the planet
Ouch that one hurt😢
When I was participating in the big choir/orchestra camp Side by side in Gothenburg this summer we sang this beautiful song. I fell in love with it and it’s beautifully composed harmonies and chords. If you want to hear us singing search for “Choirs in concert side by side” and jump to 17:35 in the video. Enjoy
This song makes me feel the sorrows from the years deep in my bones.
This has to be Billy's best work, and most underrated song.
👍👍👍
how elegantly and humbly stoic he sings this particular song
to hell this goes, oh wait they can’t silent anyone now!
And u can make decisions too and you can have this heart to break...
This comment has absolutely no reason to be here
I'll always love you HBI.
love this song so much.
This sounds a lot like Yesterday by the beatles
My fiance and best friend died suddenly on March 26, 2018 from a heart attack the week we were moving in together. I dedicate this song to her now and forever.
I think in all of music history this song speaks most directly to me. Thank you, Mr. Joel.
7 years
I cried when I first heard this song (it was already in 2011). I had it sung by a choir at the start of the ceremony, like a love letter for my new husband.
Thank you for all these great comments...we are all connected by understanding this amazing song.
Брависсимо!!! В каждом сердце есть уголок...
And so it goes . . .💔
what a beautiful, beautiful song
this song brings tears to my eyes every single time
Billy, do you like movies about gladiators? Have you ever see a grown man naked?
The best of entire billy's work.
I'm confounded that hundreds gave this a thumbs down. Grow a freakin' heart. SMH.
Sad and it makes me realize how short life is we are only here for a short time in the end we are just dust.
My mother (1934-1991) loved this song. Every time I hear it I have her in my mind. She's been gone now for half my life. Thank God for memories, for Billy's gift, and for his sharing it with us all.
Every time I've held a rose, it seems I've only felt the thorns.....DAMN, that's good
This song is one of my favorites...but....I love them all. There is something about this song....it reminds me of walking on the beach in Montauk, NY.
Super❤❤❤❤
So beautiful.
Man...that was a tough one tonight.
Idk why but I haven’t listened to this song in years and it suddenly got stuck in my head and I had to look up
And So It Goes /Bu Böyle Devam Eder
Her kalpte bir oda vardır
Bir sığınaktır, güvenli ve sağlam
İyileştirmek için yaraları, giden sevgililerin açtıkları
Ta ki gelene kadar bir başkası
Konuştum seninle tedbirli bir tonla
Tüm kalbinle cevap verdin bana
Ve hala çok konuşmuşum gibi gelir
Sessizliğim kendimi koruma yöntemimdi benim
Ve her seferinde tuttuğumda bir gülü
Sanki dikenlerini hissediyorum sadece
Ve bu böyle devam eder, böyle devam eder
Ve aynı şekilde sen de, sanırım
Ama sessizliğim neden olduysa gitmene
O halde en kötü hatam budur
Bu yüzden bu odayı paylaşacağım seninle
Ve istersen kırmak için sahip olabilirsin bu kalbe
Ve işte bu yüzden gözlerim kapalı
Tüm bu gördüklerimden sonra iyi bir karardı
Ve bu böyle devam eder, böyle devam eder
Ve bilen tek kişi sensin
Bu yüzden seninle birlikte olmayı tercih ederdim
Seçme hakkı bende olsaydı tabii
Ama sen de seçim yapabilirsin
Ve istersen kırmak için sahip olabilirsin bu kalbe
Ve bu böyle devam eder, böyle devam eder
Ve bilen tek kişi sensin
The pain on his face wuld pull on your heart strings..Superb
Papa <3
To my ear, the music resembles "Jerusalem" by Sir Hubert Parry!
DAMN. This song is beautiful. Makes me cry...
Love hurts..After all these years,i can't seem to forget you.I love you still.
who billy
hi see hay hey, abort my thoughts.
Sound of my childhood in New Canaan. Thank you, Billy. ❤️
thanks bill, i needed to lose a quart of tears.
Es sencillamente espectacular ,mis respetos a este grande de la música !!👏👏👍🇨🇴😎
Performance flawless, really wonderfully sang :)
How much passion is there in this man's fingers?
Absolutely amazing piece of music and lyrics everybody can relate to! That voice aswell, actually sounds like an angel Haha!
Alas alas, tis true tis true ...and this be now, no blarney too.
The crowd waving the lighters is great
In memory of Bruce who taught me that there was a life after death.. And so it goes.
Three weeks time @ wembley
I'm a 93 year old woman and this song still makes me wet down stairs.
93 wow. May you live a fulfiling remaining year(s).
Lying here weeping my eyes out. This song is so beautiful and painful. It’s almost an exact description of where I am. Except that I offered her this heart to break: and she broke it.
I'm a non-cis gender trans species fetus who has been born in the wrong universe and this song is my 2019 anyone? Anyone? Anthem which made my 82 year old self cry.
My dear wife, my lovely, I’m helpless. My heart won’t heal...
I’m tired...
😢
May..... 2019
Yeah, Gabriel....cuts.....makes one feel so alive....
BOSTON LEGAL BROUGHT ME HERE! Thank god dunno what i was doin without this song in my life for so long! What beautiful poetry! Certainly one of my fave Billy Joel pieces!
Denny Crane's (William Shatner) theme song.
Happy birthday & good health ..Billy Joel ...70 yrs today ..9th May 1949 ...
Great song, great musician...
I can’t find these onions, god DAMN
Damn this song is so relatable. Loving someone else so much but knowing that if that other person doesnt love you back it breaks you're heart. Especially after a breakup.
I got this piece from my piano teacher and she suggested that I listen to the original before playing it, since I didn't know the song and it's so good, I totally wasn't expecting that!
This song reminds me of Lamb of God by Twila Paris.
Man this song just tears me up right now. Just got divorced from my wife of 24-1/2 years. Nothing more to say I guess...….life sucks.
