My Blue Guitar
My Blue Guitar
This guitar don’t sound the same as it once did
When I’d sit and play your favorite songs for you
Since you left, the tempo’s changed, there’s only heartache
That echoes from the hollow of my blue guitar
I pick it up, I pick it down
Nothin’s as lonesome as the sound
Keeping rhythm with the breaking of my heart
I play it fast, I play it slow
There’s just one sound flows from the soul
Misery and sorrow, lonesome blue guitar
Emptiness, despair, and pain – a reflection
Of dreams that never lived to see the light of day
Six strings cryin’ out in vain, I still love you
Memories turn days gone by to dreams of blue
repeat chorus:
bridge:
Your tender kiss, your hazel eyes, lost in the
shadows of my mind
Forever laid to rest, forever faded blue
