Baby Grand with Ray Charles Lyrics

The song Baby Grand with Ray Charles is performed by Billy Joel in the album named My Lives in the year 2005 .



Late at night
When it's dark and cold
I reach out
For somone 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
My baby grand's
Been good to me

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

Thy 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 strayed
I've got scars
From those dives' I played in
Now I'm home
And I'm weary
And in my bones
Every dreary one night stand
But my baby grand
Is coming home with me

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