You are the minstrel,
And I'm your guitar. 
(the mellow sound)
I play your music
Straight from the heart.
Each tune you sing just makes me
Fall in love again so sweetly.
You are the minstrel,
And I'm your guitar.

You are a minstrel,

You play the string so neatly
I sing it as so sweetly
You are a minstrel,
