@komugikomugimugi there is not a rigid rule for that, Spanish is a very expressive language, sometimes changing adjective and nouns order give a poetic nuance, then "Nunca olvidaré esas amables palabras" sound a bit more poetic than "Nunca olvidaré esas palabras amables", but for communication purposes both ways are totally fine.

In Spanish you can put the adjective before or after the noun, it could make the difference.
In this case, putting "amables" before the noun gives it a poetic environment. In other cases, it can really change the meaning of you wanna say like:
Mi viejo amigo. (an old friend)
Mi amigo viejo. (a friend that is old)
or
El hombre probre. (the poor man)
El pobre hombre. (the unfortunate man)
I'm not really concerned about if there's a rule, I guess not.
