I grew up loving this song as Anne continues to have a huge fan base in the US .This song reminds me of another song by a Canadian songwiter Lennie Gallant. I would love to hear her sing "Pieces Of You'.
Hands down my favorite Anne Murray song. The last time I saw her in 2006, I requested it during the unplugged portion of the show and she did it beautifully.I'm sad to hear she is no longer performing live.
This came so early in Anne's career and I have everything she ever recorded and this I think is still the finest recording she ever did (which in her case is saying something indeed). What amazes me about her recording career is that in her later albums she was still discovering worthy new songs and rediscovering almost forgotten songs. She was never satisfied with the ordinary. Hearing her sing this always makes me cry.

Wow, my mom told me about Anne when i was 10, i"m 47 now an have most of mom's records.So anne"s here, in my heart an on my turntable. We love you sweet lady.sc..
My daughter sings Danny's Song to her baby... which brought up Anne Murray. And this song (not the flip side, Snowbird - the hit) was the next song of hers that came to mind. Nice to see so many others flipped their 45 and found it, too! I still remember every word.. "...but till the light says goodbye to the night and your face I see, I'll just keep bidin' my time while the glow from the wine makes a fool of me." One of my very favorites of hers..short, sweet, honest...and unforgettable.
I've heard her sing it a hundred times and I cry everytime. There is so much truth and pain in the song and she from the start understood it entirely.
Classic Anne Murray! Polite, a lady all the way. I listened to this LP all the time in the early 70's and 90's. A very rich sound, like butter! Thanks rockpopjazz007, for posting this.
I have this on an old, very beat up 45 (on the reverse side of Snowbird). I wonder if I could ever find a cleaner copy of this song without the distracting surface noise from the vinyl being scratched up.
I think I played this song as much as the flipside - Snowbird. What a classy lady -- look at her glowing back then, all fresh and sensual. not painted like a geisha girl in heat. thank you for the freshness of these vids, and her continuing beauty, even now.
this is one, classy lady and performer. this song, and the other side of the record, remember "snowbird?" :), was an awesome debut for annie. we love you annie, and thank you for giving altos a good name.
Great Gene McLellan composition. One of Anne Murray's best. Nice flute and instrumental backing.

This is a wonderful post and I thank the poster for so graciously sharing it.
One small thing for those who might search for this song on the Internet or in old record stores: the title is "Just Bidin' My Time."
