Little Red Guitar

Words/Music Ray Fontenault

 

VERSE 1:       I was 10 years old

                        That Christmas day

                        When grampa gave me

                        A little red guitar       

                        I felt like one of those cowboy stars

                        Singin’ “Home On The Range”

                       

VERSE 2:       I was twelve years old

                        That Christmas day

                        When grampa passed on

                        And rollin’ down my face

                        Were the tears of “Amazing Grace”

                        That was grampas’ favorite song

                       

CHORUS:       That little red guitar

                        Is comfort to my heart

                        In every Christmas song I sing

                        I feel the warmth that grampas’ spirit brings

                        I’ll be strumming out the chords

                        In honor of our loving Lord

                        With that little red guitar

                      ----------Musical Interlude-------

 

BRIDGE:        Now time moves like the wind

                        And I have a boy of my own

                        Well it’s Christmas time once again

                        Time to hand down that old

                        Little red guitar

                        Dents, scratches and all

 

VERSE 3:       He was 10 years old

                        That Christmas day

                        When I handed him

                        My little red guitar    

                        In lovin’ memory of my grampa

                        Lookin’ down from heaven

                             (To Chorus)

 

TAG:               I was just ten years old

                        That Christmas day
