You Gave Me Love

Johnny Bristol, Marv Johnson, Harvey Fuqua

[Intro]
Hmm hmm mmm, yeah
Oh yeah

[Verse 1]
When I was down and life was filled with emptiness
You gave me love (You gave me love)
Oh, tender love to take the loneliness away
Oh, happy day (Oh, happy day)
That lift the darkness from my eyes, made me see (That made me see)
The dawn of happiness arrived and bring to me (And bring to me)
Your special love

[Pre-Chorus]
With just your touch
I feel such joy and ecstasy
Life is gay (Life is gay)
Instead of pity and sympathy

[Chorus]
You gave me love
Wonderful love
(Sweet) sweet love

[Verse 2]
Oh like a child (Like a child)
I was helpless and alone, so I cried (So I cried)
Oh, but you came and you held me close and you dried my eyes
I'm satisfied (I'm satisfied)
I feel content to know that heaven made you mine (Made you made)
'Cause you're on earth, I never thought that I could find
Such tender love

[Pre-Chorus]
For like a toy, I just sat there on the shelf
'Til the day, day you came
To take me for yourself

[Chorus]
And give me love
Wonderful love
Sweet, sweet love

[Bridge]
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh
Mmhmm
Oh, listen to me baby

[Verse 3]
It's your concern (It's your concern)
With every word, you restored my faith in me (My faith in me)
Oh, from the pains of loneliness, you set me free (You set me free)
That's why I'm glad, baby (That's why I'm glad)
That I vow to keep your love forever more (Forever more)
I can't forget about the past that was before (That was before)
You gave me love (You gave me love)

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh bless the days
That we went with no regrets
Though the years have come and gone
Feels just like when first we met

[Chorus]
'Cause you gave me love (You gave me love)
Wonderful love
Sweet, sweet love

[Outro]
Said I bless the day you came my way and gave me love
Thank you, baby (Your wonderful love)
Oh, bless you, honey (Sweet, sweet love)
Yeah, sweet baby ('Cause your concern)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I thank you baby (Wonderful love)
Oh, bless you, honey (Sweet, sweet love)
Yeah sweet baby (God bless the day that you came)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (You gave me love)
I thank you, thank you, baby (Wonderful love)
Thank you, thank you, thank you (Sweet, sweet love)
Thank you, thank you, baby
