Billy Joel - C'etait Toi (You Were the One) : Multilingual Lyrics

From the album Glass Houses. Lyrics in English and French.

I thought the Tube needed a HQ version with lyrics is all. Billy himself may have a distaste for this song, but I think it's great. Cute and catchy, just like most of his songs. That's why we love him so~

Billy's more obscure songs are actually one of my favorites, and this one is no exception. Can't understand why Billy dislikes this one so much, has a great melody and the French part makes it sexier. This song transports me to 1980.

I don't know why he doesn't like it. Such a pretty song. Thanks for the vid.

@Palomitz That french verse is one of the most beautiful things ive ever heard

So. . . in my french class, our homework is to find words that have [insert phonic we've learened here] in them, and most of my words have come from this song. Thanks to my teacher, I can sing along with the whole thing! P.S. I'm in elem. school, and I love BJ and EJ and Elvis!

I was nineteen years of age when this came out. He's a great muso, but though French is apparently romantic, I would learn German fluently before bothering with French.
