Second Hand White Baby Grand Lyrics - Bombshell - Smash Cast

My mother bought it secondhand 

From a silent movie star 

It was out of tune but still I learned to play 

And with each note we both would smile 

Forgetting who we are 

And all the pain would simply fly away 

Something secondhand and broken 

Still can make a pretty sound 

Even if it doesn't have a place to live 

Oh, the words were left unspoken 

When my Mama came around 

But that secondhand white baby grand 

Still had something beautiful to give 

Through missing keys and broken strings 

The music was our own 

Until the day we said our last goodbyes 

The baby grand was sent away 

A child all alone, 

To pray somebody else would realize 

That something secondhand and broken 

Still can make a pretty sound 

Even if it doesn't have a place to live 

Oh, the words are still unspoken 

Now that Mama's not around 

But that secondhand white baby grand 

Still has something beautiful to give 

For many years the music had to roam 

Until we found a way to find a home 

So now I wake up every day 

And see her standing there 

Just waiting for a partner to compose 

And I wish my mother still could hear 

That sound beyond compare 

I'll play her song till everybody knows 

That something secondhand and broken 

Still can make a pretty sound 

Don't we all deserve a family room to live 

Oh, the words can't stay unspoken 

Until everyone has found 

That secondhand white baby grand 

That still has something beautiful to give 

I still have something beautiful to give
