    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

    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
    I don't want clever conversation

    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.

      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 ) :
      th-cam.com/video/PC2HkP5gR2g/w-d-xo.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

      I can't claim to know everything about how to escape depression, but I can speak from some experience.
      I've found that focusing on helping others and making others feel better often makes You feel better as well. Another thing is to find something that you can spend time on to keep yourself occupied. Some examples are playing/practicing sports, weightlifting, or bodybuilding. These things give you something constant and consistent that you can always turn to when everything else gets tough/complicated. One last thing, find people to be by your side. Those people can be family or friends. And if you don't have friends, then go out and try to make some. Life isn't gonna get much better by you just sitting around waiting for your life to fix itself, take some action even if it takes you out of your comfort zone. I wish you the best of luck, and I hope that this helped you out :)

    And I don't see you anymore
    I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble

    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

      th-cam.com/video/PC2HkP5gR2g/w-d-xo.html

( ex "I'll be right back baby" said to kitten leads to "Baby Come Back" by Player etc. Happens all day long to me! )

    My father introduced this song while driving on a long car ride, it basically made everyone in the car start singing as I posted the lyrics to the song! It really lightened up the mood and made the drive better!

    there is a lot of heart felt comments on this song and i appreciate that..but it also takes me back to being a kid living at home with my mom and dad and my very loved departed sister..it was a happy time in life with great music.
