Amy
Sheryl Crow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know why I let go
I want to be your friend
Flowers grow through my window and I love you again
Oh, I love you oh
When you laid me down into your beautiful garden
Flowers in the love of my arms
It's God shining through to me I guess
It's God shining through to me I guess
I love you Amy
Do you still love me?

I go to the places where we used to
I feel sad
I am out here looking for you
Sometimes I pretend
Oh, I miss you oh
When you laid me down
Into your beautiful garden
Flowers and the love in my arms
Is God playing evil tricks on me?
Is God playing evil tricks on me?




Oh I love you Amy
Do you still love me?

Overall Meaning

The song "Amy" by Sheryl Crow is a heart-wrenching ballad about a past love that the singer cannot let go of. The lyrics express a desire to become friends again despite the hurt and sadness that still linger. The metaphor of flowers growing through the window represents new growth and hope, as they symbolize the beauty that is still present in the midst of the pain. The chorus repeats the singer's love for Amy, and their question of whether or not she still loves them, adding to the sense of longing and uncertainty.


The second stanza shifts to the singer searching for Amy in the places they used to go together, but feeling sad and lonely without her. They question whether God is playing evil tricks on them, perhaps alluding to the feeling of being abandoned or punished by a higher power. The repetition of "oh I miss you" and the imagery of being laid down into a beautiful garden, with flowers and love in their arms, further emphasize the depth of the singer's love for Amy.


Overall, "Amy" is a beautifully crafted song that captures the pain and complexity of lost love. The use of natural imagery and religious references adds layers of meaning to the lyrics, while the melancholic melody underscores the emotional intensity of the singer's feelings.
