Baby Grand Songfacts

There are several sizes of grand piano. Manufacturers and models vary, but a rough generalisation distinguishes the "concert grand", (between about 2.2 m to 3 m long) from the "boudoir grand" (about 1.7 m to 2.2 m) and the smaller "baby grand" (which may be shorter than it is wide).

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 have 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 my 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've strayed in

I've got scars

From those dives I've 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.
