Saturday Songbook

This one is a little difficult to explain, but I'll do my best. I actually was listening to "The Bridge" on Sirius satellite the other night when I was editing pictures and this song came on. When it did, it reminded me that I had taken a picture of the old Queen Theatre earlier that day while waiting for a client to arrive at a shoot. Why this connection was made, I'm not exactly sure, but I think it's because Billy Joel reminds me of old New York and so does this particular piece of architecture... so there you go... but to be fair, I love love love Billy Joel, as does my husband... just one of the 1, 532, 234, 965, 946 reasons we are perfect together :)

Don't Ask Me Why

All the waiters in your grand cafe
leave their tables when you blink. (Ohhhh)
Every dog must have his every day,
every drunk must have his drink.
Don't wait for answers, just take your chances
don't ask me why.

All your life you had to stand in line,
still you're standing on your feet. (Ohhhh)
All your choices made you change your mind,
now your calendar's complete.
Don't wait for answers, just take your chances,
don't ask me why.

Mmmm, You can say the human heart is only make-believe
and I am only fighting fire with fire.
You are still a victim of the accidents you leave,
as sure as I'm a victim of desire.

All the servants in your new hotel
throw their roses at your feet. (Ohhhh)
Fool them all but, baby, I can tell
you're no stranger to the street.
Don't ask for favors, don't talk to strangers,
don't ask me why.

Yesterday, you were an only child,
now your ghosts have gone away.
You can kill them in the classic style,
now you parlez vous francais.
Don't look for answers, you took your chances,
don't ask me why.

Don't ask me why
