26. "Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)" by Billy Joel {#77; 3/94} [Video: Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel).]
There's really not much to say about this song. Just listen. It's a beautiful song.
I've sung this song to all three of my babies. I was singing it just minutes ago, trying to get my baby girl down for a nap so I could write this.
It's this song that most aggravates me that Billy Joel won't write more new songs. He's a fantastic song writer. He has a skill. He has a gift. I wish he would use that skill and share that gift more. Sure, there's a chance there might be a lot of mediocre songs like "Two Thousand Years," and "That's Not Her Style." But, if there's a chance there could be more gems like this, I think it's a chance worth taking.
Come on, Billy!
"Some day we'll all be gone
but lullabies go on and on.
They never die
That's how you and I
Will be."
COMING UP NEXT: Complete and total indifference.
