Verse 2: 
 
This old guitar gave me my lovely lady 
It opened up her eyes and ears to me 
It brought us close together, and I guess it broke her heart 
It opened up a space for us to be 
What a lovely place and a lovely space to be 
 
Verse 3: 
 
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 
And most of all to sing my songs for you 
I love to sing my songs for you
