Just The Way You Are

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 wouldn't 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 could not love you any better

I love you just the way you are.

- Billy Joel, New York

Today I had the beautiful old and the new. Some things that become more comforting especially since you know that you've seen them through the days. I ask of you to get out there. Tell it to someone, how they meant to you. Even if you can't, tell yourself how lucky you have been that some things... just are taken as the way they are, including how you are to them.
