Píseň: What You Gave Me

Interpret:
Marvin Gaye
Album:
Easy [With Tammi Terrell]
Like a breath of spring you came
& as you leave, I can only sigh your name
Cries of anguish echo from way down
But will never reach my lips to make a sound
Though it seems my world is crumbling
Honey, you don't owe me anything because


What you gave me is more than enough to last
& what you gave me is more than enough to last


You've given me so much warmth
I don't see how I could ever grow cold
In my room there's a picture of you & I
That nobody has a price to buy
I don't know what made you change your mind
But you'll be back, it's just a matter of time


What you gave me is more than enough to last
& what you gave me is more than enough to last


Into my life you came like a breath of spring
Given me a song to sing
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
& though I know you're leaving
I won't be grieving cause I know
Time has a way of showing us
The things we really need
& no matter where you go
I know you'll find your way back home
Oh baby, though I know it's not reality
You'll always be a part of me
Because what you gave me is more than enough to last
& what you gave me is more than enough to last


I'm going to live once again
What you gave me
Is more than enough to last
I love you, I love you
Hey now, & what you gave me is more than enough to last
& what you gave me is more than enough to last
