Artist/Band: Nanci Griffith
Lyrics for Song: Beautiful
Lyrics for Album: Hearts In Mind [2002]



Here's a photograph of you in Woody Hermann's band

It was 1952, you were such a handsome man

One of you at a memorial with all of Hoagy's clan

And then you and my mother, walking hand in hand



And she was beautiful and you played the piano

You were beautiful upon the keys

The world was beautiful when the two of you were dancing

Beautiful to me



You took a photograph of us, your ladies liberty

My hair was in the breeze then I played Carnegie

Grandmother read the sonnet of Emma Lazarus

She's only halfway in this picture, you took of all of us



And she was beautiful and you played the piano

You were beautiful upon the keys

The world was beautiful when the two of you were dancing

Beautiful to me



You were a father to this lonely child though we are not related

You taught me how to write these notes upon a page

You were a soldier for your country in two of our wars

You played piano all your life and you are beautiful



And she was beautiful and you played the piano

You were beautiful upon the keys

The world was beautiful when the two of you were dancing

Beautiful to me

And you are beautiful to me



Beautiful

Beautiful

Beautiful
