My First Guitar

My First Guitar - George McAnthony

Saw you standing there almost twenty years ago

I watched you from outside through the windowpane

When I held you in my arms I knew

That's what I was looking for

That's how I fell in love with my first guitar

With you in my hands

I've got the courage to say whatever's on my mind

There are stories that I can't tell

But my fingers can play can play

Every broken string has got its little story

It seems that they're friends of mine

When I'm playing heart to heart I'm fine so fine

I let a chord escape and echo through the universe

Reach the outer space and all life out there

When I'm playing on the road

You're the best part of the show

I like your sound when I listen to the radio

With you in my hands

I've got the courage to say whatever's on my mind

There are stories that I can't tell

But my fingers can play can play

Every broken string has got its little story

It seems that they're friends of mine

When I'm playing heart to heart I'm fine so fine

When I touch your strings I can feel your beating heart

Always get the best out of who I am

You make us laugh and make us cry

You warm up every frozen heart

I'm still in love with my first guitar
