A Stranger In My PlaceAnne Murray

Songwriter: Kin Vassy Kenny Rogers

Producer: Brian Ahern

[Verse 1]
I see the town where we were born, I see the place we were raised
I see all the things you wanted that I never gave
I see sadness, I see sorrow, I see pain in your face
But I just can't see a stranger in my place

[Verse 2]
I can see now where we quarreled, I can see now I was wrong
I can see where you might weaken when I wasn't strong
I see memories of a love gone bad that time cannot erase
But I just can't see a stranger in my place

[Chorus]
No one seems to know you quite like I do
No one knows the things that make you cry
Looking back it seems I never showed you
And now I lay alone and wonder why

[Verse 3]
I can see now where you might grow tired of dreams that don't come true
I can see where I have fallen short of the things I promised you
I can see now through my tear filled eyes no love on your face
But I just can't see a stranger in my place

Anne Murray

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.
