And So It Goes
For SATB a cappella
Performance Time: Approx. 2:40
Arranged by Words and Music by
KIRBY SHAW BILLY JOEL

Performance Notes: In general, a little quicker with phrase beginnings ( ~ i J>!J )

and a little slower at phrase endings. The rhythms [.'""'j'!,.r.--=3 and n.
should always sound relaxed and unhurried. If in doubt, always let the lyrics
be your guide.
