Ray Fontenault songs
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
