lyrics

Hold that Old Guitar
Music and lyrics © 2010 Eleanor Fye

I didn’t wanna go
To the party that night
Didn’t want a date
Didn’t want to stay out late

When I did show up
He was cold alright
Maybe he could see
That you were into me

And when you picked up your guitar
To play a song for me to sing
I wanted to be that instrument
More than anything

Touch me like you touch that old guitar
Play the songs that you know always pull
The strings of my heart
Just wrap your arms around me
And I’ll always be yours
If you hold me like you hold that old guitar

I know she hurt you
Knocked your heart around
Sometimes the most beat-up ones
Make the best sound

And every scratch and nick
Can sweeten the sound
And make better music
When a new love is found

And when you picked up your guitar
To play a song for me to sing
I wanted to be that instrument
More than anything

Never underestimate
The power of a touch
Just a gentle strum of fingers on skin
Can mean so much

CHORUS
