This old guitar taught me to sing a lovesong
Showed me how to laugh and how to cry
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 lonely night
This old guitar gave me my lovely lady
It opened up her eyes and ears to me
It brought us close together
I guess it broke her heart
But it opened up the space for us to be
What a lovely place, a lovely space to be
This old guitar gave me my life my living
And all the things I know I love to do
To serenade the stars that shine
From a sunny mountain side
Most of all to sing my songs for you
Ooh, I love to sing my songs for you
Yes I do,Lord, I love to sing my songs for you
