You Gave Me Love

(J. Bristol/H. Fuqua/M. Johnson)

When I was down

And life was filled with emptiness

You gave me love

A tender love to take the loneliness away

Oh, happy days

That lifted darkness from my eyes

And made me see

The dawn of happiness arrive and bring to me

A special love

Just your touch

I feel such joy and ecstasy

Life is gay

Instead of pity and sympathy

You gave me love

Wonderful love

Sweet, sweet love

Like a child

I was helpless and alone

And so I cried

But you came and held me close

And dried my eyes

I'm satisfied

I feel content to know the

Heavens made you mine

'Cause here on earth

I never thought that I could find

Such a tender love

Like a toy

I just sat there on the shelf

Till the day that you came

To take me for yourself

And gave me love

Wonderful love

Thank you darling

Thank you honey

You gave me love

Bless the name

That I took with no regrets

For the years have come and gone

It's just like when first we've met

You gave me love

Wonderful love

Sweet, sweet love

I bless the day you came my way

You gave me love

Thank you baby

Bless you honey

Sweet baby

Wonderful love

Tender love

I'm satisfied yeah

I'm satisfied yeah
