Introduction
“Amie” is one of those songs that feels like it’s always been around—it’s timeless, like a familiar friend who shows up at just the right moment. Vince Gill’s version of this track is a beautiful blend of country smoothness and heartwarming sincerity, a song that reaches out and grabs hold of your emotions without even trying too hard. What makes this version special isn’t just the lyrics or the melody; it’s the unmistakable tenderness in Gill’s voice that makes you feel every note, every word as if he’s singing just for you.
The song’s storytelling is simple, yet deeply relatable. “Amie” is about that lingering love, the one that pulls at your heartstrings even after you’ve tried to let go. There’s a sense of vulnerability in the way Gill delivers each line, like he’s revisiting old memories—both sweet and bittersweet. You can almost hear the yearning in his voice, the internal tug-of-war between wanting to stay and knowing it might be best to move on. It’s the kind of song that makes you think of your own “Amie,” that person who’s always in the back of your mind no matter how far you’ve drifted apart.
Musically, Vince Gill brings a purity to the track, stripping it down to its emotional core. The soft strumming of the guitar, coupled with his gentle voice, creates an atmosphere that feels intimate. It’s like you’re sitting across from him, and he’s telling you a story he’s kept to himself for a while, a story about love, loss, and that little glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe, things could work out.
This song resonates because it taps into the universal experience of holding onto someone, even when you know you should let go. But instead of feeling weighed down by the sadness, you walk away from it feeling a bit lighter, a bit more connected to your own emotions. Vince Gill’s “Amie” reminds us that sometimes, the most powerful songs are the ones that make us feel like we’re not alone in our heartaches.

Lyrics
I can see why you think you belong to me
I never tried to make you think, or let you see one thing for yourself
But now your off with someone else and I’m alone
You see I thought that I might keep you for my own
Amie what you want to do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do
Don’t you think the time is right for us to find
All the things we thought weren’t proper could be right in time
And can you see
Which way we should turn together or alone
I can never see what’s right or what is wrong
(will it take to long to see)
Amie what you want to do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do
Well now
Amie what you want to do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do
Now it’s come to what you want you’ve had your way
And all the things you thought before just faded into gray
And can you see
That I don’t know if it’s you or if it’s me
If it’s one of us I’m sure we’ll both will see
Won’t you look at me and tell me
Amie what you want to do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer
Longer if I do
Yeah now
Amie what you want to do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do
Fallin’ in and out of love with you
Fallin’ in and out of love with you
Don’t know what I’m gonna do, I’d keep
Fallin’ in and out of love
With you
