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 This baby grand's Been good to me
[Billy Joel]
I've had friends But they 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]
As for women They don't last with just one man But baby grand Will 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 strayed in
[Ray Charles]
I've got scars From those dives I played in
[Billy Joel]
Now I'm home And I'm weary
[Ray Charles]
In my bones Every dreary one night stand But baby grand Came home with me
[Billy Joel]
Ever since this gig began My baby grand's Been good to me

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
This baby grand's
Been good to me
[Billy Joel]
I've had friends
But they 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]
As for women
They don't last with just one man
But baby grand
Will 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 strayed in
[Ray Charles]
I've got scars
From those dives I played in
[Billy Joel]
Now I'm home
And I'm weary
[Ray Charles]
In my bones
Every dreary one night stand
But baby grand
Came home with me
[Billy Joel]
Ever since this gig began
My baby grand's
Been good to me
