Lyrics

This old guitar taught me to sing a love song
Taught me how to laugh and how to cry
Introduced me to some friends of mine
And brightened up some days
And helped me make it through some lonely nights
Whoa, 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
I guess it broke her heart
It opened up a space for us to be
What a lovely space and a lovely place to sing
You helped me sing my songs
Out here on the road
You've taken me to places
I never dreamed I'd go
When you sat there in the silence
In your case or in your stand
But always seemed to bring me life
When I place you in my hands
This old guitar gave me my life,my living
 And all the stories I've been told
 I love to serenade the stars that shine
In a sunny mountainside
Most of all I sing my songs for you Mmm
I love to sing my songs for you
Yes, I do, you know
