“It was me right here,” Gaga said, gesturing to the piano. “My father was sitting here. And we had a big bottle of agave tequila sitting right here.”

The two were both feeling somber that night. “My grandfather was on his last leg of life,” Gaga explained. “I think my dad and I just knew he was going to go, and I knew my dad was just so sad.”

Gaga’s grandfather ended up passing away that same night. At the piano with her dad, the Grammy winner began writing and composing. “The first lyric was, ‘There’s no reason you and me should be alone.’ So, I thought, ‘He’s not alone. He has all of us,’” Gaga said. “My dad and I just did shot after shot, and every time I got [the song] right, he’d go, ‘That’s it.’”

"The song is about, how when I watch my grandpa die, I believe that he looks my grandmother and I realize that he was a champion in the life and that's when he's able to go to the edge of glory that represents being on the edge of that glorious moment."

Lyrics

There ain't no reason
you and me should be alone
Tonight, yeah, baby, tonight, yeah, baby
I got a reason
that you should take me home tonight

I need a man that thinks it right
When it's so wrong
Tonight, yeah, baby, tonight, yeah, baby
Right on the limits
where we know we both belong tonight

It's hot to feel the rush
To brush the dangerous
I'm gonna run back to, to the edge with you
Where we can both fall in love

I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment of truth
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you

I'm on the edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
I'm on the edge of glory and
I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you

Another shot, before we kiss the other side
Tonight yeah baby, tonight yeah baby
I'm on the edge of something final
we call life tonight
Alright, alright
Put out your shades
'cause I'll be dancing in the flames
Tonight, yeah baby, tonight, yeah baby

Who does it hurt if everybody knows my name tonight?
Alright, alright

It's hot to feel the rush, to brush the dangerous
I'm gonna run back to, to the edge with you
where we can both fall in love.

I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment of truth
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you

I'm on the edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
I'm on the edge of glory and
I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you
I'm on the edge with you
I'm on the edge with you
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment of truth
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you

I'm on the edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge

I'm on the edge of glory and
I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you
I'm on the edge with you
I'm on the edge with you
I'm on the edge with you.
