Beautiful Lyrics - Hearts In Mind - Griffith Nanci

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)
