This is a true song written by Amy Caldwell. Inspired by Belle Pyke, a dear friend of Amy's family. She recently passed and was like a grandmother to Amy and her sister when they were really little. Awesome performance by Amy.

Story behind the song
Amy sent me the song right after Belle passed and asked me to play guitar on it. It was so good and so well written. Amy has so many wonderful memories, but unfortunately no pictures with her. It's unfortunate as well that the last few years she really hadn't been in touch with her. This song was kind of like making a picture. The name of the song comes from the fact that as a child Amy was fascinated with the bottles of perfume shaped like beautiful Ladies that she had on her bedroom dresser. "I don't have pictures but I remember, and I always will" Awesome performance, lyrics and harmonies by Amy. Thanks Amy, for letting me be a part of this one.
Lyrics
"Perfume Ladies" (Amy Caldwell/Thomas Moore) I have learned a lot of things since I was a little girl learned how to tie my shoes, say please and thank you. Learned about this great big world. Well, I sit here all grown up now but tears still find a way to fall it gets no easier, things aren't the way they were I still don't understand it all. Thought that I'd have fewer questions thought that I'd know it all by now but I still feel like a babe sometimes wish I could go back somehow Chorus But fate just stops by to wish us well with visions of how it could be and so we dream and plan our days we forget things we can't see I always wished I had said or done something more, something real I don't have pictures but I remember and I always will Strawberry lipgloss, perfume ladies red rubber boots on the wrong feet the memories call back another lifetime little girls then, soft and sweet I close my eyes and see it clearly can almost hold it in my hands why can't we take back so much time we've wasted why can't we work it into the master plans. Repeat Chorus (©Amy Caldwell 2006)
