RE: SONG:"You're My Home" QUESTION: In the stanza; "If I travel all my life and I never get stop and settle down, long as I have you by my side there's a roof above and good walls all around", Why didn't Joel write it; "If I travel all my life, and I never get stop and settle down long as I have you as my wife there's a roof above and good walls all around"? Joel seemed to miss such an obvious rhyme (Life / Wife)! The "Wife version" would have rhymed better and been more appropriate as a love-song written specifically for ... HIS WIFE! Joel is a talented songwriter and prolific balladeer. In several songs he included nuances that showcase his writing skills and his ear. I can't believe this missed rhyme was just an oversight. Thoughts?
