Billy Joel - Leave A Tender Moment Alone Lyrics






Even though I'm in love
Sometimes I get so afraid
I'll say something so wrong
Just to have something to say

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
But if that's how I feel
Then it's the best feeling I've ever known
It's undeniably real
Leave a tender moment alone

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

If the girl gets too close
If I need some room to escape
When the moment arose
I'd tell her it's all a mistake

But that's not how I feel
No that's not the woman I've known
She's undeniably real
So leave a tender moment alone

But it's not only me
Breaking down when the tension gets high
Just when I'm in a serious mood
She is suddenly quiet and shy

Leave a tender moment alone
Leave it alone

I know the moment isn't right
To hold my emotions inside
To change the attitude tonight
I've run out of places to hide
And if that's how I feel
Then it's the best feeling I've ever known
It's undeniably real
Leave a tender moment alone
You got to leave a tender moment alone
Leave a tender moment alone
Leave it alone
You got to leave a tender moment alone
Leave a tender moment alone

  4. I.... W....

    Ah, Wilson you idiot!

  5. D.... C....

    A lesson for guys from Billy Joel AND Chris Rock: During a romantic moment, if a guy yaks too much and say the wrong thing, " those panties will come up mighty fast!" LOL.

  6. R.... A....

    I'm in love but I'm sure he knows at all. Like madly in love and I'm so stupid shy too 😕 ❤
    One of the best songs ever!

  12. T.... T....

    You're listening to DJ Timmy T and WBLS 107*5 in Stereo in NYC 🎧

  13. M.... B....

    There is nothing on this Earth than loving a woman

  14. M.... B....

    There is nothing on this Earth then loving a woman

  15. v.... ....

    This and Tell Her About It are perfect companion pieces regarding communication in love relationships. Tell Her About It being about those moments where you should say something. This tune about the times to STFU and just enjoy the moment and not fuck it up! :-) Great advice from both great songs!

  16. u.... ....

    I am an old fart by now but man do I miss when stuff like this was pop music

  17. F.... L....

    Billy Joel's music is for all generations.

  23. A.... S....

    Allo Billy👋
    Been listening to your music,genius since the late 70's
    My old man was,is a massive fan
    Gotta be straight/brief."Leave a tender moment alone" in mind🤣
    Never understood your lyrics/meaning back then,just liked the music
    As I've grown,I understand them,have lived them and then some
    I now listen with a smile on my face,realising,relating to every single word
    Tis true...Music has a funny way of knowing what kind of mood,emotions you're in,going through
    Thanks for being there,even though of course you never knew/know until now
    If this "official" thing is to be believed
    "Honesty is such a lonely word" and all that
    Anyway🍺

  24. R.... K....

    Billy doesn't get enough credit as a truly great singer. It's his songwriting and song sensibilities or piano playing but he is a brilliant, heartfelt vocalist.

  25. G.... B....

    Anyone in november 2019 ??

  26. Y.... J....

    Too Angela Gorbach

    The intro reminds me of 'Clair' by Gilbert O'Sullivan.

    Billy Joel and Gilbert O'Sullivan would sound good together.

  56. M.... R....

    Even though I'm in love
    Sometimes I get so afraid

    Just to have something to say

    Leave a tender moment
    Leave it alone

    I know the moment isn't right
    To hold my emotions inside
    To change the attitude tonight
    I've run out of places to hide

    And if that's how I feel
    Then it's the best feeling I've even known
    It's undeniably real
    Leave a tender moment alone

    You got to leave a tender moment alone
    Leave a tender moment
    Leave it alone
    You've got to leave a tender moment
    Leave a tender moment alone
