    My son has Cerebral Palsy and is 17 now. He can't walk talk or eat, but I couldn't love him any more than I do. When this song came on one day when we were together, it summed it up perfectly. "I don't need clever conversation. I just need someone I can talk to". This is my song to my son Fischer. Its our song

    This was the song that really made him a big star. It was a big radio hit in 1977 and '78. Although he had already recorded 3 albums on Columbia Records, he hadn't achieved commercial success until "The Stranger" album. Don't underestimate the contribution of the great Phil Woods on alto sax to help make this such a great classic.

I find myself very lost in the music of my own youth... but I do know that today's youth music will be as important to today's youth in 30 years as music like this is to me now... one day you'll understand, and I hope you won't be as judgmental then as you seem to be now.

      Billy Joel write this for his first wife and not long afterwards, they divorced. He refused to play it live for many years. He also realized shortly after that it seemed to be a curse for him: dedicating songs (writing them) for certain loved ones, said they always would split (much like Taylor Swift’s music).
      So. Good luck on your marriage. I’m sure divorce isn’t in your future. 😂

    • @GR8Trollio

    And I don't see you anymore
    I would not leave you in times of trouble
    We never could have come this far, mmm
    I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
    I'll take you just the way you are
    Don't go trying some new fashion
    Don't change the color of your hair, mmm
    You always have my unspoken passion
    Although I might not seem to care
    I don't want clever conversation
    I never want to work that hard, mmm
    I just want someone that I can talk to
    I want you just the way you are
    I need to know that you will always be
    The same old someone that I knew
    Oh, but what will it take till you believe in me
    The way that I believe in you?
    I said I love you, that's forever
    And this I promise from the heart, mmm
    I couldn't love you any better
    I love you just the way you are, right

      Hola.
      Billy Joel aclaró que , para hacer esta bella canción , se inspiró , en parte , en el tema " I´m not in love " de los británicos 10 CC ( 1975 ) :
      ruclips.net/video/PC2HkP5gR2g/видео.html
      , mezclando ese estilo de pop- rock suave , con toques jazzísticos y una pizca de soul . Corrientes que tanto admira , junto al rock and roll , también.
      Saludos desde Chile , Sudamérica.

    Lyrics!!!!
    Don't go changing, to try and please me
    You never let me down before
    Don't imagine you're too familiar
    And I don't see you anymore
    I would not leave you in times of trouble
    We never could have come this far
    I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
    I'll take you just the way you are
    Don't go trying some new fashion
    Don't change the color of your hair
    You always have my unspoken passion
    Although I might not seem to care
    I don't want clever conversation
    I never want to work that hard
    I just want someone that I can talk to
    I want you just the way you are
    I need to know that you will always be
    The same old someone that I knew
    What will it take till you believe in me
    The way that I believe in you
    I said I love you and that's forever
    And this I promise from the heart
    I couldn't love you any better
    I love you just the way you are
    I don't want clever conversation
    I never want to work that hard
    I just want someone that I can talk to
    I want you just the way you are

    You never let me down before
    Don't imagine you're too familiar
    And I don't see you anymore
    I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
    We never could have come this far
    I took the good times; I'll take the bad times
    I'll take you just the way you are
    Don't go trying some new fashion
    Don't change the color of your hair
    You always have my unspoken passion
    Although I might not seem to care
    I don't want clever conversation
    I never want to work that hard
    I just want someone that I can talk to
    I want you just the way you are
    I need to know that you will always be
    The same old someone that I knew
    What will it take till you believe in me
    The way that I believe in you?
    I said I love you and that's forever
    And this I promise from the heart
    I could not love you any better
    I love you just the way you are
