Anne Murray

Featuring: Bryan Adams

If words won't do it
And words are just a waste of time
We could get right to it
If I could only read your mind

You're just a mistery to me
Deeper than the deep blue sea
There must be something that will melt your heart
Baby, tell me just where to start

Chorus:
What would it take to get you closer
What would it take just to stir your soul
What can I do to make you love me
Just the thought of you
Keeps me lying away
Tell me what would it take

If the night don't move you
And you've never seen the stars come out
If the touch don't soothe you
Then maybe you've just never been touched
I wanna be the one to change your mind
I think about it all the time
??
I wanna wake you from your deepest sleep

You're just a mistery to me
Deeper than the deep blue sea
There must be something that will melt your heart
Baby tell me just where to start

Chorus:
What would it take to get you closer
What would it take just to stir your soul
What can I do to make you love me
Just the thought of you
Keeps me lying away
Tell me what would it take

What would it take to get you closer
What would it take just to stir your soul
What can I do to make you love me
Just the thought of you
Keeps me lying away
Tell me what would it take

Tell me what would it take

Tell me what would it take

Tell me, tell me
Tell me what would it take
Tell me what would it take

Tell me, tell me
Tell me what would it take

Tell me what would it take...

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.
