Top 10 Billy Joel songs

9. ”Leave a Tender Moment Alone”

Another fab track off of Joel’s 1983 album An Innocent Man, has Joel waxing poetic about the fear of saying the wrong thing at an awkward romantic moment. Joel sings about every guy’s worst fear when he wants to make a good first impression on a girl he likes with lines like, “I know the moment isn't right/To tell the girl a comical line/To keep the conversation light/I guess I'm just frightened out of my mind… Yes I know I'm in love/But just when I ought to relax I put my foot in my mouth/Cause I'm just avoiding the facts.” What guy hasn’t fumbled a joke or a witty anecdote in an effort to impress a girl? With this song, Joel tells those guys that he’s been in their shoes and to just go with the flow and see what happens!
