“
Goodnight, my angel
Time to close your eyes.
And save these questions for another day.
I think I know what you've been asking me.
I think you know what I've been trying to say.
I promised I would never leave you.
And you should always know
Wherever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away.
— Billy Joel

Wherever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away." in the context of "Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
