lyrics
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
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
And I can't believe it's you I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave, why should I leave, I'd be a fool
'Cause I finally found someone who really cares
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
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
You needed me, you needed me
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
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
And I can't believe it's you I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave, why should I leave, I'd be a fool
'Cause I finally found someone who really cares
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
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
You needed me, you needed me
"You Needed Me" is a song written
by Randy Goodrum, who
describes it as being about "unconditional undeserved love". It
was a number one hit single in the United States in 1978 for Canadian singer Anne Murray, for which she won a Grammy Award.
In 1999, Irish pop band Boyzone recorded a hit
cover of the song that hit number one in the UK Singles Chart.
"You Needed Me" was first recorded by singer
Anne Murray in 1978. The song peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot
100 chart and revitalized her career after several years of declining
popularity as it became her first Top 40 US single since her 1974 remake
of The Beatles' "You Won't See Me". The song, included on
her 1978 album Let's Keep It That
Way, was also a top-five country single and won Song of the Year
at the Academy of Country
Music awards, and is her most successful single in the United Kingdom where it made the top 30.
Murray is quoted in The Billboard Book of Number One Hits by Fred Bronson as saying she was not
surprised by the song's success, as she knew from the start the song would be a
hit because she broke down in tears the first time she tried to sing it.
Although
the song reached number one on the Billboard Hot
100chart (and is
her only song to top that chart), it never topped the two Billboard charts
where Murray has had the most success -- Country and Adult
Contemporary. However, it spent a then-record 36 weeks on the Adult
Contemporary chart, a record for chart longevity that stood until 1993.
The
song earned Murray the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at
the 21st Grammy Awards,[3] the first to be awarded to a
Canadian artist.
Anne
Murray re-recorded the song with Shania Twain for Murray's 2007
album Duets:
Friends & Legends.
The
song was featured in an ongoing storyline on the CBS soap Guiding Light in 1980–81, as a theme
song for the characters Kelly Nelson and Morgan Richards. In 2013, the song was
performed by Seth MacFarlane in
character as Stewie Griffin on
the Family Guy episode
"Chris Cross", in which Anne Murray herself guest-starred.
