Lucinda Williams - This Old Guitar lyrics

This old guitar taught me to sing a love song
Showed me how to laugh and how to cry
And brightened up some days
Helped me make it through some lonely nights
What a friend to have on a cold lonely night

This old guitar gave me my sweet, sweet baby
Opened up his eyes and ears to me
Brought us close together
And I guess it broke his 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
Serenade the stars that shine
From a sunny mountain side
Most of all, to sing my songs for you
I love to sing my songs for you
Yes I do, I love to sing my songs for you
