Song Lyrics

Faced with a summer in school to complete this requirement, he decided not to continue. He left high school without a diploma to begin a career in music. Despite the Vietnam War and the draft, Joel performed no military service - because he was the sole provider for his mother and sister, the selective service gave him a draft exemption.[citation needed] In 1992, the English credit requirement was waived by the Hicksville School Board and he received his diploma at Hicksville High’s graduation ceremony 25 years after he left the school.

Hey Lord, take a look all around
And I’d a-find where my baby’s gonna be.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
‘Cause she is far across the sea.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
And make sure that she’s gonna be alright
And things are gonna be alright with me.

Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
And make sure that all her dreams are sweet.
Said now, would ya guide her on the roads
And make them softer for her feet.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
And make sure that she’s gonna be alright
Until she’s home and here with me.

Hey, Lord would ya look out for her tonight
If she is sleepin’ under the sky.
Said now, make sure the ground she’s sleepin’ on
Is always warm and dry.
Ummm, don’tcha give her too much rain,
Try to keep her away from pain
Because my baby hates to cry.

Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
‘Cause it gets rough along the way.
Said now, this song seems strange is just because
I don’t know how to pray.
Ummm, won’tcha give her peace of mind,
And if you ever find the time
Won’tcha tell her I miss her everyday.

Hey Lord, take a look all around
And I’d a-find where my baby’s gonna be.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
‘Cause she is far across the sea.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
And make sure that she’s gonna be alright
Until she’s home and here with me.
With me.
