My Favorite Songs 41

This Is The Time ; Billy Joel ; The Bridge ; 1986

This Is the Time was released as the third single from Billy Joel's album The Bridge. The song reached No. 18 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. Billboard called it a “melancholy rock ballad from a doom-filled perspective.” Cash Box said that the “songwriting genius of Joel is in force again in this wistful, melodic ballad.”

This song will forever be one of my favorites, if not simply for its cool, soft, and predictable tones, falling asleep to it numerous nights as a youngling, not yet fully understanding the lyrics. I still get chills when he reaches the refrain; and I find it interesting, no—blindly or naively profound—how I did not know the impactfulness of the words on my adult life, or how I could not even comprehend it yet, but even as a young adult I could just sense how powerful and meaningful this song really was without truly appreciating it. And I find that almost magical.

~A Man Explains His Feelings To A Woman~

She’s locked away

deep inside my dreams.

She’s so close to my heart

or so it seems?

Her thoughts stay away

but for good reasons.

But a smile from her

is worth four seasons.

To experience her kiss

is so unreal.

To experience her stare

and what her eyes conceal

would last a life time of hope

and wanted zeal.

I can’t give her a cruise;

an island, or a plane.

But I can give her a flower

and pizza just the same.

I can’t give her a diamond necklace

or a turn around driveway.

But I can give her a walk in the park

in the heavenly month of May.

I can’t give her Zorro’s excitement

or love in Don Juan fashion.

But I can give her my lone heart

and its undying passion.

What she does to me is unreal

and I want it to continue.

I just hope that I become

one of the oh, so lucky few.
