Anne Murray - Snowbird Lyrics






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

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

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

Yeah, if I could you know that I would
Fl-y-y-y-y away with you

    😢❤️

    The writer, Gene MacLellan - his daughter, Catherine, does a beautiful version of this song of her father's. She has released an album of Gene's songs a year or so ago if you want to get nostalgic. And she is just a fantastic singer/songwriter in her own right - she just got nominated for a Juno award for her latest gorgeous album "Coyote". I only just found out about her and did not know about her family history.. I had the absolute pleasure of seeing her live in Australia recently- she is a Canadian gem.

    I had the 45 for this song when I was young in the early 1970s. And a portable turntable to play it on.

  4. M.... A....

    Thanks for that beautiful song, my Grandma (Kansas), loved this song so much she wanted it on her headstone. She died while I was in the Navy 1971. This song made me think of this precious woman! Doc Mike USN

    Anne Murray reminds me of my days living with Grandma RIP when my older sister used to rock to this at her house in California back in the early 80s.

  40. J.... W....

    Whenever I hear this I imagine the world as family guy I could literally see myself ANIMATED in it

  41. A.... D....

    Knew this song would fill my radio's speaker and give me a boost each day as I served in the Army during the Vietnam war. It still gives me a boost.

  42. C.... D....

    Thanks family guy

  43. J.... C....

    My God, that brings back memories of when I was 4 or 5....my mom loved this song, along with so many other greats of that time, like Melanie's "Candles in the Rain." I still find music I like, but for the most part, the best music in from so many years past.

  44. E.... J....

    Eschuchando en 2020.

  45. M.... S....

    Family guy got me here because of this song

  46. R.... P....

    The simple reference to 'snowbirds' , which I just learned are 'Juncos', migrate down from northern Canada to southern, and into the U.S. around the first snows of the year - hence 'snowbirds'. Anyway, it makes me wonder if the younger generations even notice simple things like the arrival of these birds. They'd have to go outside and lift their heads from staring at their phones.

  47. m.... ....

  88. j.... 7....

    This might be the one that made elvis say she is my favorite singer

  89. N.... C....

    Raised where it was rough, first car had a reverberator in the back of it. I think that is what they called them, back then.. it was before 8 track. The year was 1970 or 71, not sure. but this song played......I had to pull the car over........man, it still stuns me to hear it now. I did not know
    WHO this was who sung this and for YEARS, it was on my mind the little I had heard of it from that day. For years I would think it was Patsy Cline........I did not hear it again for almost 33 years. Then one day back in 2004, it played........just made me SIT and think....timeless song,
    Billy Jack memories, John Denver Rocky Mountain High......this song STUCK in my memory all those years until I found it again. I have to come and visit it every so many months and
    bring back the memories of my youth............The Snowbird took them with him and has a timeless life now! Stay young Snowbird, such a beautiful song! It can make you cry....easily.
