And So It Goes Lyrics - 12 Gardens Live - Billy Joel

In every heart there is a room 

A sanctuary safe and strong 

To heal the wounds from lovers past 

Until a new one comes along 

I spoke to you in cautious tones 

You answered me with no pretense 

And still I feel I said too much 

My silence is my self defense 

And every time I've held a rose 

It seems I only felt the thorns 

And so it goes, and so it goes 

And so will you, soon, I suppose

But if my silence made you leave 

Then that would be my worst mistake 

So I will share this room with you 

And you can have this heart to break 

And this is why my eyes are closed 

It's just as well for all I've seen 

And so it goes, and so it goes 

And you're the only one who knows 

Photos 

So I would choose to be with you 

That's if the choice were mine to make 

But you can make decisions too 

And you can have this heart to break 

And so it goes, and so it goes 

And you're the only one who knows
