Jimmy Ruffin You Gave Me Love Lyrics

[Intro]
Um yeah
Oh yeah

[Verse 1]
When I was down and life was filled with empty nests
You gave me love (you gave me love)
Oh didn't the love to take the loneliness away
Oh hug me babe (oh hug me babe)
If the darkness from my eyes made me see (it made me see)
The dawn of happiness arrived back to me (back to me)
A special love, with just your touch
It feels like scarlet ecstasy life is gay (life is gay)
Instead of pity and sympathy you gave me love
Wonderful love
(Sweet) sweet love

[Verse 2]
Oh like a child (like a child)
I was [?] to sit alone so I cried (so I cried)
Then you came hugged me close and dried my eyes
I'm satisfied (I'm satisfied)
I feel content to know that happen made you mine
First year on earth I never thought that I could find
Such tender love
For like a toy, I gotta sit there on the shelf
'Til the day baby came
The day before yourself and gave me love
Wonderful love
Sweet sweet love
Ohh [Verse 3]
Oh listen to me baby
It's your concern (your concern)
With every word you restored my faith in me (your faith in me)
Oh from the pain to the mornin' you set me free (set me free)
That's why I'm glad baby (that's why I'm glad)
That I fought to keep your love forever more (forever more)
I can't forget about the past and walk before (walk before)
You gave me love (you gave me love)
Oh bless the days that we wed newlyweds
Though the years have come and gone
That teaches life with [?] you gave me love (you gave me love)
Wonderful love

And I bless the day you came my way and gave me love
