Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)

"Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)" is a song by American singer-songwriter Billy Joel, released in February 1994 by Columbia Records as the fourth and final single from his 12th album, River of Dreams (1993). It was written and co-produced by Joel, inspired by Alexa Ray Joel, his daughter by Christie Brinkley. The song is in the key of G major. It peaked at number 27 on the Canadian RPM 100 Hit Tracks chart and number 77 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Its accompanying music video was directed by German director Marcus Nispel and shot in black-and-white, featuring Joel performing the song while playing on a piano.

In 2004, it was announced that Joel had agreed to write two children's books for Scholastic, the US publisher. The first book was titled Goodnight, My Angel (A Lullabye) and is a picture book based on the song and illustrated by Yvonne Gilbert. "Reassuring children that they are not alone or could be abandoned is very important for their well-being," Joel said in a statement in 2004. The second book was titled New York State of Mind and illustrated by Izak.
