How would you answer a 7-year-old's question, Where do we go when we die? From Billy Joel's final album, River of Dreams (1993), this song presents the songwriter's own thoughts. The hint of Medieval ambience in the bridge in the solo piano came from Joel's plans to make this song part of a suite, with lyrics sung in Latin. The song has been covered more than 2 dozen times. Don't let our version become maudlin or morose; it's got plenty of meaning without getting gushy or sentimental.
