Amazed by Lonestar on Canvas: The Country Love Song Couples Still Choose for Anniversaries
Quick answer: Amazed by Lonestar is one of the most-loved country wedding songs ever recorded, and it's a song real couples keep ordering: it appeared more than once in our recent sample of AmourPrint orders.

The story behind Amazed
- Released: March 1999 to country radio, as the second single from Lonestar's album Lonely Grill.
- Written by: Marv Green, Aimee Mayo and Chris Lindsey. Mayo and Lindsey were dating when they wrote it and later married, so it's a love song written from inside a real romance.
- Country chart: eight weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles & Tracks, the band's longest-running No. 1.
- Pop crossover: a pop remix went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2000. It was the first country song to top the all-genre chart since “Islands in the Stream” in 1983.
Who orders an Amazed canvas
From what we see in real orders, Amazed sits inside the biggest single genre on our canvases: country. It tends to be chosen by three kinds of buyers:
- Couples married around 1999–2005, when the song was everywhere. For them it's a 20th or 25th anniversary gift, and the song is the wedding.
- Adult children gifting their parents a milestone anniversary canvas of the song their parents danced to.
- Country-loving newlyweds choosing a proven classic over a brand-new release.
Which lines to print
You pick the exact lines at checkout; our designer lays them out on your proof. Three approaches suit this song:
- The chorus (4–6 lines): the most recognizable part and the most readable from across a room. Works on any size.
- Opening verse + chorus (8–12 lines): captures the slow build of the song. Use 20×40" or larger.
- Headline line + dedication: one line set large, with “[Names] · Married [date]” beneath. Clean and modern for a farmhouse or rustic room.
We print the lyrics you choose on your personal canvas; we don't reproduce song lyrics on this page out of respect for the songwriters.
