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 slipped away I've had fame But it doesn't stay I've made fortunes Spent them fast enough As for women 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 strayed in I've got scars From those dives I 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
