Somebody’s Always Saying Goodbye.
Lyrics: Retired American songwriter Robert Lee McDill McDill.

Released in 1982, “Somebody’s Always Saying Goodbye” is one of Ms Anne Murray’s most heartfelt country-pop ballads. Written by Bob McDill, the song beautifully captures the sadness and inevitability of parting, whether in love, friendship, or life itself. With Anne Murray’s warm, emotional vocals and gentle melody, the song became a memorable hit from her album ‘The Hottest Night of the Year’, reaching the top ranks of country and adult contemporary charts in Canada and the United States. Its timeless message about love and loss continues to touch listeners around the world.
Somebody’s Always Saying Goodbye.
Somebody’s Always Saying Goodbye.
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 don’t 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.
END
Great song Ms Anne Murray
