[Verse: 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: 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
Alright?
[Verse: Billy Joel & Ray Charles]
I've had friends, oh, but they've slipped away
And I've had fame, but it doesn't stay
I've made fortunes, spent them fast enough
But as for women
They don't last with just one man
But my baby grand is gonna stand by me
[Verse: Billy Joel & Ray Charles]
They say that no one's gonna play this on the radio
(What? I don't believe that)
They said melancholy blues were dead and gone
But only songs like these, played in minor keys
Keep those memories holding on
[Verse: 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
Ever since this gig began
My baby grand's been good to me
