This old guitar
Taught me to sing a love song
Showed 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
What a friend to have on a cold lonely night

This old guitar gave me my lovely lady
It openned 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 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-mountain side
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
