Everyone Knows It's Amy

Time has come once more to do a birthday post. This time it is for my dear sister Amy. She has waited a long time for this moment--for the time when I would write her a song. Well Amy, here it is. Happy 17th! (And yes I know I'm a day late. I was waiting until she returned from her retreat.)

For those of you who do not know the tune, here it is:



Everyone Knows it’s Amy
By Melody Beerbower with Help from Jeannette, February 14, 2015

Who’s trippin’ down the steps of the stairway
Eager to tell something new that she’s learned
Who’s popping up in everyone’s picture
Everyone knows it’s Amy

Who’s wandrin’ through the aisles on a Sunday
Smilin’ at everybody she sees
Who’s reaching out to tickle the children,
Everyone knows it’s Amy

And Amy has gorgeous eyes
That brighten up all our lives
And Amy she always tries
To be a help

Who’s scribbling down the start of a story
In letters too small for people to see
Who’s drying pans with her little sister
Everyone knows it’s Amy

And Amy has gorgeous eyes
That someday will capture guys
 But she’s too young to form ties
For right now

 
Who’s trying out the schemes of her sister
Bumping her head and scraping her knee  
Who’s folding up a mountain of laundry
Everyone knows it’s Amy

And Amy has braces too
To make her smile look brand new
Improving it’s hard to do
Because it’s so bright

Who’s waited years for a song to be written
All about her with lyrics by me
Who will be thrilled to finally have one
Everyone knows it’s Amy

But Amy has another song
She’s hated it all along
To sing it now would be wrong
Let’s do anyway…

 Amy what you want to do?
 I think I could stay with you
 For a while, maybe longer if I do

Who’s reaching out to whop on my noggin
Mad and upset pretending to be
Who cannot hide the curve of her smile
Everyone knows it’s Amy

And Amy makes a real good friend
I could make verses again and ‘gain
But it’s time for this song to end
So that’s all for now
