Railroad station, midnight trains
Lonely airports in the rain
And somebody stands there with tears in their eyes
It's the same old scene, time after time
That's the trouble with all mankind
Somebody's always sayin' goodbye

Taxi cabs leave in the night
Greyhound buses with red tail lights
Someone's leavin and someone's left behind
Well I dont know how things got that way
But every place you look these days
Somebody's always sayin goodbye

Take two people like me and you
We could have made it, we just quit too soon
Oh the two of us, we could have had it all
If we'd only tried

But that's the way love is, it seems
Just when you've got a real good thing
Somebody's always sayin goodbye
Somebody's always sayin goodbye

Born on 20 June 1945, Anne Murray is one of Canada’s preeminent and prolific country music singers. She has been awarded four Grammys, three American Music Awards, three Country Music Association Awards, twenty-four Juno Awards and recorded thirty-two studio albums.

Initially a school teacher, she began her singing career in 1968 but did not have a hit in the United States until a year later with “Snowbird”, which reached number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. Throughout her career, her easy listening and country music was well received in the U. S. and her home country, from “Sing High, Sing Low” in 1971, (her follow-up hit to Snowbird), to “What a Wonderful World” in 2000 (her last song to chart in Canada’s then-standard music publication RPM) despite not self-penning her song to date.

In 1989, the Anne Murray Centre (located at Springhill, Nova Scotia, her birthplace) was founded as a charity for fostering tourism in Nova Scotia. Since 2008 she retired from singing and touring altogether and focuses on philanthropy.
