Amber Lynn Lyrics

She said, “Boy, you better say you're sorry
Don't think forgiveness will come easy
‘Cause it’s all that I have to give
And boy, I get the strangest pleasure
Just sitting on these city roof-tops
And see the lights that go on for miles"

And I’m dreaming all the time
My heart is racing, yeah
I’m dreaming all the time
Won’t you be mine?

Amber Lynn, I’ve got three days to keep away
I’ve been waiting on that white horse, oh for all these days
Amber Lynn, you’ve got me all wrong
Sweet love of mine, bring me closer to that Florida line
Amber Lynn won’t you be mine
And take me away, tonight

I am stuck between the lines
It just won’t come out right
Till I find mine, till I find mine
Amber Lynn, I won’t forget
The simple things you know, you know me best
But I can’t seem to find a way in you

Now I’m dreaming all the time
My heart is racing, yeah
I’m dreaming all the time
Won’t you be mine?

Amber Lynn, you’ve got me wishing for the stars tonight
And I’ve been messed up, but oh, you got your trust in time
You saved my life, and I don’t ever think I’ll find the words to say
Amber Lynn, I’ve got three days to keep away

Amber Lynn, I’ve got three days to keep away
I’ve been waiting on that white horse, oh for all those days
Amber Lynn, you’ve got me all wrong
Sweet love of mine, bring me closer to that Florida line
Amber Lynn won’t you be mine
And take me away, tonight
Take me away, tonight
Take me away, tonight
Take me away, tonight
Take me away, tonight

Three Cheers for Five Years

And I’m dreaming all the time
My heart is racing, yeah
I’m dreaming all the time
Won’t you be mine?

Now I’m dreaming all the time
My heart is racing, yeah
I’m dreaming all the time
Won’t you be mine?

Amber Lynn, you’ve got me wishing for the stars tonight
And I’ve been messed up, but oh,  you got your trust in time
You saved my life, and I don’t ever think I’ll find the words to say
Amber Lynn, I’ve got three days to keep away

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i think it's "sitting on these city rooftops", not "silly rooftops" i love this song. it's so beautiful, and the strings in the back are really amazing. it's a very raw, real, song. you can hear the imperfections in derek's voice, and that makes it so much better than perfect. this song brings me to tears, it's just a beautiful piece of music.

There's a few words I change when I sing this song (but they aren't what Mayday say). I always say Amber Anne because that's my name. And right here: "You saved my life, and I dont ever think Ill find the words to say Amber Lynn, Ive got three days to keep away" Instead of that I say, "You saved my life, and I dont ever think Ill find the words to say Amber Anne, you take the deepest away." I honestly think it sounds better, but this song is amazing, regardless.
