Post lyrics to your favorite Anne Murray song here! |
|
I'll always remember the song they were playin' The first time we danced and I knew As we swayed to the music and held to each other I fell in love with you
CHORUS Could I have this dance for the rest of my life Would you be my partner every night When we're together it feels so right Could I have this dance for the rest of my life
I'll always remember that magic moment When I held you close to me As we moved together, I knew forever You're all I'll ever need.
CHORUS

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green The snowbird sings the song he always sings And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring
<snip>
Chorus Spread your tiny wings and fly away And take the snow back with you Where it came from on that day The one I love forever is untrue And if I could you know that I would Fly away with you

Anne Murray Written by Gene MacLellan
Peaked at # 8 in 1970
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green The snowbird sings the song he always sings And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring
When I was young my heart was young then, too Anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do But now I feel such emptiness within For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win
CHORUS Spread your tiny wings and fly away And take the snow back with you Where it came from on that day The one I love forever is untrue And if I could you know that I would Fly away with you
The breeze along the river seems to say That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow
CHORUS
Yeah, if I could I know that I would fl-y-y-y-y away with you

12. Nothing at all wrong with a beautiful voice. I LOVE "Snowbird." |

Family had just moved to Arizona from Montana when it came out; I was 10.
Such bittersweet memories it invokes...

-Artist: Anne Murray -peak Billboard position # 1 in 1978 -Words and Music by Randy Goodrum
I cried a tear, you wiped it dry I was confused, you cleared my mind I sold my soul, you bought it back for me And held me up and gave me dignity Somehow you needed me
You gave me strength to stand alone again To face the world out on my own again You put me high upon a pedestal So high that I could almost see eternity You needed me, you needed me
And I can't believe it's you I can't believe it's true I needed you and you were there And I'll never leave, why should I leave? I'd be a fool 'cause I finally found someone who really cares
You held my hand when it was cold When I was lost you took me home You gave me hope when I was at the end And turned my lies back into truth again You even called me "friend"
You gave me strength to stand alone again To face the world out on my own again You put me high upon a pedestal So high that I could almost see eternity You needed me, you needed me
You needed me, you needed me

The Loggins and Messina version and Anne's are both excellent. Anne is adept at recording songs that are a perfect fit for her to sing. She always sings so beautifully. I hear how people sing today on the radio, even on some of the awful music contest shows. They have to get all weird with the vibrato and the histrionics. Anne sings so sweetly and naturally that songs she did decades ago are still breaths of fresh air

11. Hippo in the Bath Tub |
|
Anne Murray has the best kid album EVER!
Hey Daddy! There's a dragon in the driveway And momma there's a grizzly on the lawn! You better come, quick! 'Cause there's a hippo in the bathtub, And he's goin' down the drain -- oh no, he's gone!
Well the minds of little children, They go round and round and round. And they're hearing giant's footsteps When I never hear a sound. I just hear ...
Hey Daddy! There's a dragon in the driveway And momma there's a grizzly on the lawn! You better come, quick! 'Cause there's a hippo in the bathtub, And he's goin' down the drain -- oh no, he's gone!
And he's goin' down the drain -- oh no, he's gone!
Well you never know if they really saw All the things they'd have you believe. But if there's dragons in this neighbourhood, Then we're gonna leave sayin' ...
Hey Daddy! There's a dragon in the driveway And momma there's a grizzly on the lawn! You better come, quick! 'Cause there's a hippo in the bathtub, And he's goin' down the drain -- oh no, he's gone!
And he's goin' down the drain -- oh no, he's gone!

I rolled out this morning Kids had the mornin' news show on Bryant Gumbel was talkin' 'bout the fighting in Lebanon Some senator was squawkin' 'bout the bad economy It's gonna get worse you see, we need a change in policy
There's a local paper rolled up in a rubber band One more sad story's one more than I can stand Just once how I'd like to see the headline say "Not much to print today, can't find nothin' bad to say", because
Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single buildin' down Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain We sure could use a little good news today
I'll come home this evenin' I'll bet that the news will be the same Somebody takes a hostage, somebody steals a plane How I wanna hear the anchor man talk about a county fair And how we cleaned up the air, how everybody learned to care Whoa, tell me
Nobody was assassinated in the whole Third World today And in the streets of Ireland, all the children had to do was play And everybody loves everybody in the good old USA We sure could use a little good news today
Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single buildin' down FADE Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain We sure could use a little good news today
