This Old Guitar (Live Radio Performance)

This Old Guitar (Live Radio Performance) - John Denver

This old guitar taught me to sing a love song

It showed me how to laugh and how to cry

It introduced me to some friends of mine

And brightened up some days

It helped me make it through some lonely nights

Oh 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 ears to me

It brought us close together

And I guess it broke her heart

It opened up the space for us to be

What a lovely place and a lovely space to be

This old guitar gave me my life my living

All the things you know I love to do

To serenade the stars that shine

From a sunny mountainside

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
