This Old Guitar

This old guitar taught me to sing a love song

Showed me how to laugh how to cry

It introduced me to some friends of mine and brightened up some day

Help me make it through some lonely nights

What a friend to have on a cold and lonely night

This old guitar gave me my lovely lady

It opened up her eyes and years to me

It brought us close together

And I guessed it broke her heart

It opened up the space for us to be

What a lovely place and lovely space to be

This old guitar gave me my life my living

All the things you know I love to do

Serenade the stars that shine from a sunny mountainside

And most of all to sing my songs for you

I love to sing my songs for you yes I do you know

I love to sing my songs for you

Em
