Playin' On My Guitar lyrics

By the sand and fire light

While watching the fallin' star

Came a lady from the night

Who started playin' on my guitar

She was like a melody

That no one had ever heard

When she sang her magic song

I had to listen to every word

But she made me see

Like I never had before

Don't you know she set me free

Like I never been before

Don't you know the girl could sing

And I thought of what the future would bring

By the stars and fire light

The music was sweet and clear

Though I had her to myself

I was afraid someone else would hear

Soon the other heard her playin'

Started to gather round

One by one they started stayin'

'Cause they couldn't believe the sound

And she made them see

Like they never had before

Don't you know she set them free

Like they'd never been before

Don't you know the girl could sing

And I thought of what the future would bring

I see her every now and then

In movies and on T.V.

Wonder as I sit there watchin'

If she ever thinks of me

By the sand and fire light

(oooooooooooooo)

Before she became a star

(ooooo just a melody)

She was just a melody

Playin' on my guitar

Playin' on my guitar

Playin' on my guitar
