Amber, the one who cares

Working on a new song. Lyrics are in pretty good shape but will probably get edited when I work on the music. 

She drives a gray Nissan sedan

Gets to work early, if asked she'll stay late.

Sits by his side watching tv

Listens as he softly snores in his sleep.

She gets a little worried when he complains

about a sharp pain in his chest.

Is it something he ate or is it his heart

He's the best one she's been with


Ah, Amber, the one who truly cares

She sighs, pushes back her auburn hair

Pats him on the shoulder, adjusts the sheet

Offers him water, reminds him to eat.

Tells him to stand up so his legs don't get weak,

He likes having her there,

Ah, Amber, the one who cares.


No one know much about her besides what she's said

She lives alone and once was married.

Travels a little, doesn't have pets or kids

Loves her job, says it's not all that she is.

He's thankful she's here

Enjoys her company

She seems happy

And so does he.


Ah, Amber, the one who truly cares

She sighs, pushes back her auburn hair

Pats him on the shoulder, adjusts the sheet

Offers him water, reminds him to eat.

Tells him to stand up so his legs don't get weak,

He likes having her there,

Ah, Amber, the one who cares.


Someone told her a story many years ago

About a chimpanzee and bear.

He listens and tries to follow

as she tells him what she remembers.

They look at each other when she's finished

Not sure exactly what it meant

But it sounded happy-sad

So they share a smile.


Ah, Amber, the one who truly cares

She sighs, pushes back her auburn hair

Pats him on the shoulder, adjusts the sheet

Offers him water, reminds him to eat.

Tells him to stand up so his legs don't get weak,

He likes having her there,

Ah, Amber, the one who cares.
