(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



(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

But this baby grand's

Been good to me



(Billy Joel:)

I've had friends

But they have slipped away



(Ray Charles:)

I've had fame

But it doesn't stay



(Billy Joel:)

I've made fortunes

Spent them fast enough



(Ray Charles:)

And as for women

They don't last with just one man

But my baby grand

Is gonna stand by me



(Billy Joel:)

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

They said the melancholy blues were dead and gone



(Ray Charles:)

But only songs like these

Played in minor keys

Keep those memories holding on



(Billy Joel:)

I've come far

From the life I've strayed in



(Ray Charles:)

And I've got the scars

From those dives I've played in



(Billy Joel:)

Now I'm home

And I'm weary



(Ray Charles:)

In my bones

Every dreary one night stand

But my baby grand

Came home with me



(Billy Joel:)

Ever since this gig began

My baby grand's

Been good to me
