Baby Grand Lyrics

Artist: Billy Joel
Album: The Bridge

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

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

I've had friends
But they have slipped away
I've had fame
But it doesn't stay
I've made fortunes
Spent them fast enough
As for woman
They don't last with just one man
But baby grand
Will stand by me

They say that no one's gonna play this on the radio
They said the melancholy blues were dead and gone
But only songs like these
Played in minor keys
Keep those memories holding on

I've come far
From the life I've strayed in
I've got scars
From those dives I've played in
Now I'm home
And I'm weary
In my bones
Every dreary one night stand
But baby grand
Came home with me

Ever since this gig began
My baby grand's
Been good to me

I absolutly LOVE this song! And I found myself laughing at the parts I knew because I play the piano.

If you have done any living at all and are over 50, every word of "Baby Grand" is true, and since playing the piano has been my life long passion, this song has real meaning to me.

Joel is a Blues Man.... who plays anything, and everything.... but when he plays blues, (Baby Grand, NY State of Mind, et al), he is at his best.
