Anne Murray

Songwriter: Kenny Loggins Jim Messina

Producer: Brian Ahern

If you've been thinking you're all that you've got
Then don't feel alone anymore
'Cause when we're together then you've got alot
'Cause I am the river and you are the shore

And it goes on and on, watching the river run
Further and further from things that we've done
Leaving them one by one
And we have just begun, watching the river run
Listening and learning and yearning, to run river run

Winding and swirling and dancing along
We pass by the old willow tree
Where lovers caress as they sing our song
Twisting together when we greet the sea

And it goes on and on, watching the river run
Further and further from things that we've done
Leaving them one by one
And we have just begun, watching the river run
Listening and learning and yearning, run river run

Run river, run
Run river, run

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.
