    My name is Amanda and my mom introduced me to Don Williams song about my name, when i was little! She'd sing it to me a lot. I'm 39 now and still love and adore this song. He honestly sets you at ease. Amazing singer.

    I saw Don in 1979 at the Silver Dollar in Austin, Texas. He came out, sat on a stool and mesmerized the audience for the better part of two hours. He’d sing a tune, chat a little and then go into another of his hits. We were filled with a peace, a joy and a strong sense of quiet reassurance. It was a unique experience and night I’ll never forget.

      Don Williams and Jim Reeves are two of a kind never again to have, even as a near imitation.
      Each of their songs had a message, meaning and a heart to appeal to.

      Yes, one of the best songs ever written and Don Williams sang it fantastically, yet... when it was released in 1973 it only made it to #33 on the country music charts???!! Are you as shocked as I am by that fact? Until I found that out recently, for decades I had assumed it reached #1.

    I heard Don Williams at the N.C.State fair in 1978 and he played this song. He sounded exactly like this in concert. There were only about 200 people in the Dorton Arena at the fair that night and nobody seemed to clap after the song.
    I was in the very far end of the building, probably 300 feet away from the stage, and at the end of this song I yelled out at the top of my lungs "Hey Don........Play it one more time !" .
    I swear to God , he stopped on stage and scratched the top of his hat and said " Well boys.......with a little pause, and they played the whole song again note for note. After that the crowd was crazy for the rest of the show. It embarassed the girlfriend I had at the time so bad that we broke up shortly afterwards. It was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. Any woman that didn't like Don Williams wasn't worth my time.

    In 1974 my brother and I started our family's contracting business and all my brother listened to was country music. I started liking it and played it in my truck when he wasn't with me because I had always made fun of it, calling it "hill-billy music." Well, I finally let him know I was a fan also and ate crow. Almost fifty years later our business is still going well and I am a long time country music lover and this song is the one that started it for me. Thank you Mr. Williams.

    I've held it all inward, God knows, I've tried
    But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life
    To look in the mirror in total surprise
    At the hair on my shoulders and the age in my eyes
    Amanda, light of my life
    Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
    Amanda, light of my life
    Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
    It's a measure of people who don't understand
    The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band
    I got my first guitar when I was fourteen
    Now I'm over thirty, still wearing jeans
    Amanda, light of my life
    Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
    Amanda, light of my life
    Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife

    One of my most wonderful memories was when I was 15 and watching my Dad dancing with my Mom at a D.A.V. Hall in Slidell La..The way they were looking at one another with so much LOVE ..made me tear up a little bit ..I was a little embarrassed when my best friend noticed and made a silly comment.. My Dad passedaway afew years ago and now my beutiful Mother struggles with Alzhemers ....I would give everything I own if I could go back in time to that night..the great thing is that everytime I hear this song I kind of do ...Peace and Lets Love One Another A Little Bit More ..David Lee

    I don’t know if anyone cares but my dear Dad came back from Vietnam at 20 years old. Simple southern guy, his spirit was broken at the horror he experienced during 13 months in the jungle.
    He heard this song and thought “If ever have a little girl she will be Amanda.”
    He realized he’d never have children and out the thought out of his mind.
    Ten years later he met my mother. He was in bad shape and as he puts it “she was nice to me, treated me like a normal man”
    Then I was born. He insisted my name was Amanda and never told my mom or me why until I was a grown woman.
    I think that’s a pretty cool way to get your name.

      +Sandra Burke I've seen Don in concert and this is just the way he sings. Of course, the song has a different feeling when Waylon sings it. Either version still tells the same story. And what husband doesn't feel this way about his wife? Whether you're playing a guitar or a computer, a good husband wants the best for his wife.
