You Needed Me (2007)Anne Murray

Featuring: Shania Twain

[Verse 1: Anne Murray, with Shania Twain]
I cried a tear, you wiped it dry
I was confused, you cleared my mind
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me

[Chorus: Anne Murray, Shania Twain & Both]
You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me

[Bridge: Anne Murray, Shania Twain & Both]
And I can't believe it's you, I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
Mmm, and I'll never leave, why should I leave? I'd be a fool
As I finally found someone who really cares, mmm

[Verse 2: Anne Murray, Shania Twain & Both]
You held my hand when it was cold
When I was lost, you took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again
You even called me friend

[Chorus: Anne Murray, Shania Twain & Both]
You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high (So high) upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me
You needed me, oh, you needed me

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.
