Anne Murray

Songwriter: Kim Carnes

I'd like to live out all my dreams
And if I could, yes if I could
The nicest one would be with you
And you'd be here with me
Don't you ever get lonely

Lord I'm no good when you're away
But what do you expect
From a girl
Who loves you like I love you
Won't you ever just get tired
And come on home to me
Don't you ever get lonely

Chorus:
You're a part of me
That I can't do without
You're a part of me
That dreams are all about
But you can't hold on to
Something that you never had before
Love waits for the wind
To bring you back again
And take you away

Friends say it's great now you're a star
But what do they expect from a girl
Who loves you just the way you were
And late at night, I wish things had never changed
And you were here with me
Don't you ever get lonely

Chorus:
You're a part of me
That I can't do without
You're a part of me
That dreams are all about
But you can't hold on to
Something that you never had before
Love waits for the wind
To bring you back again
And take you away

Take you away
Honey, I love you
Take me away
'Cause honey I love you
Take me away...

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.
