I just lost my dad. He played this song on repeat every night for me growing up. We even have matching tattoos of the lyrics. Forever holding on to this song and taking him with me in my heart.
When this song became popular, I was teaching middle school choir. And for several years in a row my graduating 9th graders using to sing this for their parents at their graduation ceremony. The parents cried, the staff cried, and even the kids cried! This song seemed to mark a point of passage for everyone who heard it! Thanks Billy for writing the most beautiful love song
I was surprised, in a very unexpected but good way, when he interrupted the song because he felt so emotional performing it. I don't blame him. This is such an amazingly beautiful song. It's hard not to relate to it, either as a parent, a child or anyone who carries love in their heart for other people. Thank you very much for this incredible gift, Mr. Joel.

Even though Billy meant this song about his daughter, My boyfriend sent this to me, as he is overseas backpacking and I said I missed him most when I was going to sleep, so he sent me a beautiful message and this song. I miss him so much, this song made me cry a little.
I was not surpiised to see Billy get up from playing, you could seethe sentiment growing inside as he played it, i was glad that he went back and finished it off, i have never heard anythong that is so imotionally charged as this lullabye to his daughter, but what he sung was really loving and i think will stay with me all my life, ther is no other song that can touch this, and i doubt there ever will be its beautiful and says so much, thanks Biily!!!!

Next month it'll be 9 years since I lost my dad to cancer. Having become a mum myself back in May has definately opened the wound of grief again, knowing how much he would have loved to have been a granddad, and how proud he would have been to see his girls (my sister and me) become parents ourselves. This song says it all, really...
I chose this song for my daughter's wedding; for the father daughter dance. I reared up before the wedding. She cried at the dance. And now I cried listening to it as I try to fall asleep.
The longer version of the video: He couldn't finish the song, too emotional, reminded him of the breakup of his marriage and being away from his daughter...he walked off stage for a few minutes, recovered, and came back and finished the song for them...it took guts...the young audience knew it...but every one of them should have been on their feet at the end.
This song is a beautiful way of saying that life is beautiful, and we should enjoy the little things in life because one day, we'll look back and realize they were the big things. I'll always listen to this song whenever I need a good cry. Thanks, Mr. Joel.
I always knew it. I knew this song was for his daughter even before I saw this. How could it not be? I lost my father when I was 10 years old and I listen to this song and think of him. He was my best friend
He was an amazing person.even though his song made me cry because whenever I get a notification for this song I love it because it helps me recall my late wife of which tears run down my eyes how are you today? Well, my name is Scott can we Be friend
Logic, Physics, Math... bring order and reason to our existence.... but to be and feel truly alive in all the rich glory of life, music, and most importantly, songs like this.. this one in particular... leave a deep and lasting imprint on our hearts.. our souls.. our emotions.. and let us know we are so much more than ourselves as individuals.. we are everlasting within each other.. for all eternity.... the Sass
Sing this to my baby sister when I can....it's been a while :( I used to sing it to her everynight! She wouldn't sleep without me singing it at least twice!
I played this song at the festival of life for my darling manny. I feel his presence always. The emotion of this song both tears my heart and soothes my soul. Thank you Mr. Joel for your beautiful music.

Der gute Billy referiert genau meine Gedankengänge Hoffnungen und Stimmungen......ist das grad so krass......wenn man ertappt wird....und ein genialer Musiker und Komponist..........Puh........für mich ein ganz großes Vorbild !
This song just found me when my little granddaughter asked me to sing her a lullaby. I just lost my darling dog of 11 years and ever since I heard this song, I can’t stop playing it and sobbing. It’s beautiful and full of hope. 🙏🙏💜
SunlitAries1625 I already cried. After hearing the story of how this song came to be and the soft beautiful music combined, I couldn't help but feel so sad. :(
I agree it is kinda harsh. I am always overwhelmed when I am listening to this (especially the last part of the song), so I imagine how hard it should be to sing this.

My Dad used to sing this song when I was little ♥ I remember the "Someday we'll all be gone but lullabies go on and on, they never die that's how you and I will be" part a lot
This was the song we danced to at the father/daughter dance at her wedding. Every time I hear the words I have tears. This was the perfect song for that special moment

I have been a fan for many years. Interestingly enough, my son who lives in Wantagh could be your brother, since he resembles you and also loves music and sits down at the keyboard occasionally. You are an amazingly talented musician and as you have aged, you have become even more popular. Thank you. My son has promised to take me to one of your concerts. Gina Doddds, Wantagh, NY
This was played for a concert on pbs i believe. It was right after 9/11. The pause was because he was too emotional from the events of 9/11 to sing that particular song so he took a break i believe he played another song then went back i to lullaby to end the show.

keith rice Clearly! This song is easily the best thing Billy Joel has ever written. It is one of the most heartfelt and genuine score of music ever produced.
Yeah but also it's a live performance, doesn't have to play exactly the same as the studio version? Bear in mind he also probably hadn't played it in a while, without the music, and he mentioned it would be quite an emotional performance. He couldn't even get through it in one take... Not trying to change your mind necessarily, just saying that'd be contributing to what you heard.
It just feels so all over the place. Try singing along with it! I dunno, I just felt it REEALLLY took away from the beauty of the song. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this song, and I LOVE Billy Joel, I was just floored that he would mess with the timing like that. It didn't fit the mood of the song at all. And to be fair, Shatner's a pretty keen bean, it's not THAT harsh, is it? I love Shatner too. :D
