Baby Grand

[Verse 1: Billy Joel]

Late at night when it's dark and cold

I reach out for someone to hold

When I'm blue, when I'm lonely

She comes through, she's the only one who can

My baby grand is all I need

[Verse 2: Ray Charles]

In my time, I've wandered everywhere

Around this world, she would always be there

Any day, any hour

All it takes is the power in my hands

This baby grand's been good to me

[Chorus: Billy Joel & Ray Charles]

I've had friends, but they slipped away

And I've had fame, but it doesn't stay

I've made fortunes, I spent them fast enough

But as for women, they don't lust with just one man

But my baby grand is gonna stand by me

[Verse 3: Billy Joel & Ray Charles]

They say that no one's gonna play this on the radio

Why, I don't believe that

They said the melancholy blues were dead and gone

But only songs like these played in minor keys

Keep those memories holding on

[Chorus: Billy Joel & Ray Charles]

I've come far from the life I strayed in

And I've got the scars from those dives I played in

Now I'm home, and I'm weary

And in my bones, every dreary one night stand

My baby grand is coming home with me

With me

[Outro: Billy Joel]

But ever since this gig began

My baby grand's been good to me
