lyrics

For mj, pat, and all my family at the Holiday

If my guitar had two arms with which to strum
It’d strum for anyone, any night or day
If my guitar had two hands with which to play
It’d have a message to relay, not just to stand upon the stage and collect its pay

If my piano had two legs with which to travel
It’d unravel itself to anyone along the way
If my piano had two feet with which to step
It’d strike a chord with those we met, and place a tear or a smile upon every face

Maybe through the years my guitar and my piano
Any note I ever played and any word I ever sang
Shall never change a life and never any person touch
Though, they changed me, they changed me, and that’s enough

If anyone has ever done the things I’ve done
They’d know the only thing worth doing is to love
If anyone has ever had the friends that I now have
They’d have a family if ever there was one

Maybe through the years all my friends and all my family
Any smiles ever shared and any way they showed they cared
Shall never change the world with any song that they have sung
Though, they changed me, they changed me

You changed me, you all changed me, and that’s called love
