Cheryl Wheeler - Mrs. Pinocci's Guitar lyrics

Diane and Billy been friends forever They go back a long time They grew up together She called to tell us He'd written from Rome For the whole month of August He'd be at home So we went to see him At her house one evening In the place where they'd spent all their summers as kids We walked all around In the small bay side town Where his Dad's called the bingo for thirty-five years And later on that night Under the porch light Mrs. Pinocci brought her six string over She said she'd been playing since she turned fifty-seven And now I guess she's more than twenty years older She played Yankee Doodle we sang along with her She pa**ed it around and we all played a number Neighbors and friends dropped by for a little singin' Then later a guy no one knew came to sit in For the moon on the water For the light from the stars Oh I thank the spirits Whatever they are For friendships that last Songs from the past and Mrs. Pinocci's guitar
