Nanci Griffith - Beautiful Lyrics 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 (chorus) 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 and I played Carnegie Grandmother read the sonnet of Emma Lazarus She’s only halfway in this picture You took of all of us (chorus) 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 (chorus) |
