1
Here's a photograph of you in Woody Hermann's band
2
It was 1952, you were such a handsome man
3
One of you at a memorial with all of Hoagy's clan
4
And then you and my mother
5
Walking hand in hand
6
[Chorus:]
7
And she was beautiful
8
And you played the piano
9
You were beautiful upon the keys
10
The world was beautiful
11
When the two of you were dancing
12
Beautiful, to me
13
You took a photograph of us, your ladies liberty
14
My hair was in the breeze and I played Carnegie
15
Grandmother read the sonnet of Emma Lazarus
16
She's only halfway in this picture
17
You took of all of us
18
[Chorus:]
19
You were a father to this lonely child
20
Though we are not related
21
You taught me how to write these notes upon a page
22
You were a soldier for your country in two of our wars
23
You played piano all your life
24
And you are beautiful
25
[Chorus:]
