Whitley, Keith - Miami, My Amy Lyrics






Well, everybody talks about the California quakes
But the first time I ever felt the earth shake
Was in Miami
When Amy touched me
Aw, it shook me

I told her I loved her and I wanted to stay
But she said, "Be Sure, and I'll call you in L.A."
Even in the taxi
I could hear the telephone ring

Calling me from Miami
My Amy
What took you so long
I thought you'd never call

Miami, My Amy
Miami, My Amy loved me after all

Now Amy just called and said, "Please come back"
I said, "I'm on my way, I haven't even unpacked"
"I want you, I love you", that's all she had to say
Good-bye L.A.

Now once again I'm Miami bound
Can't wait til this plane touches down
Because I know my Amy will be waiting
At that Miami gate

I can't wait

Miami, My Amy
What took you so long I thought you'd never call
Miami, My Amy
Love me after all

Miami, My Amy loves me after all

    Keith - was from Kentucky as i am and a music enthusiast (myself). I dont know bout the California qaucks, but i know i felt my world shack the summer of 2018 in Junction City, Ky., as a lady i met that summer stirred my soul like NOONE had ever b4. So i sing this song as i can relate to the feeling he describes in this song. And No Stranger to the Rain, i relate to as well. I sing a few of Keith's songs as ive liked his music since i was a younger man. Great artist and entertainer that left his mark on music, and this great state we are both from. RIP my friend.

  5. C.... E....

    Never to be forgotten

    Something about this song.. Gets me right in the feels!! 🤔🤔🤔

  20. J.... H....

    Truly the best country singer of all time. The most beautiful, soft, and smooth voice in all of country music. I have no doubt Keith would own all the country music records if he was still alive. No other country music artist can even compare to Keith. RIP country music man and thank you so much for the beautiful music you gave us!

  21. D.... R....

    986 thumbs down!? Must be a bunch of Eric Church fans who wouldn't know great country music if it kicked them one in the ass!

  22. J.... W....

    I was at a small hotel in Nashville in Sept 2019 and across the parking lot was a smaller nightclub with live music. Around 11pm I heard this song being sung. I had to go over there and sit and listen to the singer for the rest the night. The guy had a great voice and sang several 80s and 90s country that I had forgotten about.

  23. P.... P....

    How can you compare the shit country music of today with real country music like this?

  24. P.... P....

    Hi Keith. Ty

    I’ve been living away from the states for many years and only make it home every couple years. This was the last song my Mom played for me over the phone before she passed away this past June. It was on the Classic Country station and she knew I loved Keith. I now listen to this to remind me of her. God Bless Her. Hug your Mom and tell her you love her every chance you get. 💔💔

  81. P.... H....

    When everybody talks about the California 'quakes
    But the first time I ever felt the earth shake
    Was in Miami

    When Amy touched me, oh it shook me
    I told her I loved her and I wanted to stay
    But she said "Be sure, and I'll call you in L.A."
    Even in the taxi I could hear my telephone ring

    Calling me from Miami, my Amy
    What took you so long?
    I thought you'd never call
    Miami, my Amy
    Miami, my Amy loves me after all
    *************
    Now Amy just called and said "Please come back"
    I said "I'm on my way, I ain't even unpacked"
    "I want you, I love you",
    That's all she had to say
    Goodbye L.A.

    Now once again I'm Miami-bound
    Can't wait 'til this plane touches down
    'Cause I know my Amy will be waitin'
    At that Miami gate,
    I can't wait Miami, my Amy

    What took you so long?
    I thought you'd never call
    Miami, oh my Amy
    Miami, my Amy loves me after all
    Miami, my Amy loves me after all.....
