JOHN DENVER - This Old Guitar (Live) Lyrics

This old guitar taught me to sing a love song
It showed me 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
Oh, 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 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 these songs for you, yes, I do, you know
I love to sing my songs for you
