That's What My Love Is For

(album: Anne Murray - 1996)

That's What My Love Is For
as performed by Anne Murray and Aaron Neville

[Anne:]
Baby, it's a cruel world when luck won't run your way;
It's hard to keep on knocking 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.
