Lyrics

[Verse 1: Marvin Gaye] Like a breath of spring, you came And 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 [Pre-Chorus: Marvin Gaye] Though it seems my world is crumbling Honey, you don't owe me anything because [Chorus: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, Both] What you gave me, girl, is more than enough to last, oh, yes it is, ooh (Oh) And what you gave me, girl, is more than enough to last, oh, yes it is (Ooh) [Verse 2: Tammi Terrell] You've given me so much warmth I don't see how I could ever grow cold In my mind, there's a picture of you and I That nobody has the price to buy [Pre-Chorus: Tammi Terrell] I don't know what made you change your mind But you'll be back, it's just a matter of time, 'cause [Chorus: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, Both] What you gave me is more than enough to last, oh, yeah What you gave me, baby, is more than enough To last [Bridge: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, Both] Into my life you came, like a breath of spring Given me a song to sing Oh yeah, oh yeah And though I know you're leaving I won't be grieving, 'cause I know Ooh, oh [Verse 3: Tammi Terrell] Time has a way of showing us The things we really need And no matter where you go I know you'll find your way back home [Pre-Chorus: Marvin Gaye] Oh baby, and though I know it's not reality You'll always be a part of me [Chorus: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, Both] Mmm, 'cause what you gave me is more than enough to last, oh baby (Oh, yeah, yeah) And what you gave me, hey, is more than enough to last, hoo hoo [Outro: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, Both] I believe it, once you gave it What you gave me (Mm, mm) Is more than enough to last I love you, I love you, oh, darling (Hey now) And what you gave me is more than enough to last, it's more than enough, hey now (And I always will) And what you gave me, baby, is more than enough to last
