This old guitar taught me to sing a love song
It showed me how to laugh & 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 & lonely night
This old guitar gave me my lovely lady
It opened up her eyes & ears to me
It brought us close together
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 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
Words & music by john denver
