That’s What My Love Is ForAnne Murray

Featuring: Aaron Neville

[Anne:]
Baby, it's a cruel world when luck won't run your way;
It's hard to keep on knockin' down the doors
If you want somebody to take you as you are
That's what my love is for
[Aaron:]
If you get tired of all the games that other lovers play
In the name of love just waging war
If you want somebody to tell it like it is
[Both:]
That's what my love is for
[Both:]
These arms are gonna hold you every night so faithfully
These eyes are gonna see you unconditionally
[Anne:]
This body and soul are nobody's but yours
[Neville:]
This heart bears your name forever more
[Anne:]
And if some day you feel the need to spend time on your own
Go and sail your ship away from shore;
[Neville:]
Then I will be here shining; a lighthouse in the dark
[Both:]
That's what my love is for
[Anne:]
That's what my love is for
[Both:]
These arms are gonna hold you every night so faithfully
These eyes are gonna see you unconditionally
[Anne:]
This body and soul are nobody's but yours
[Aaron:]
This heart bears your name forever more
[Anne:]
True love asks no questions
[Aaron:]
True love tells no lies
[Anne:]
True love is its own reward
[Both:]
That's what my love is for
[Anne:]
That's what my love is for
[Aaron:]
Oh, I, that's what my love
[Both:]
Is for

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.
