Bombshell: The New Marilyn Musical from Smash
SMASH - Second Hand White Baby Grand Lyrics


The song is written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.

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
