About the Song
"And So It Goes" is a ballad written by Billy Joel in 1983, though it wasn't released until six years later. It appeared as the tenth and final track of his megahit album Storm Front. The original 1983 demo was released on the 2005 box set My Lives. Joel wrote the song, which is about a doomed relationship, while dating supermodel Elle Macpherson, and he's said in interviews that he knew the relationship would never last since Macpherson was only 19 while he was in his early 30s. Joel dated Macpherson for a brief time shortly before becoming involved with fellow supermodel Christie Brinkley, who would ultimately become his second wife. In the original demo version of "And So It Goes," Joel sings the melody simply and almost humbly, accompanied by a simple piano backdrop. The single peaked at #37 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and #5 on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart in 1990. It has been covered.    Download this sheet!

Music sheets - what is all about? Back in the 19th century, songs in the United States were popularized by musicians through music sheets.
