Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Like the 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, huh, to make a sound
[Verse 2]
Now I know, I know my world is crumbling, baby
Honey, you don't owe me anything 'cause
[Verse 3]
What you gave me, girl, is more than enough to last, baby
I want you to know that
What you gave me, girl, is more than enough to last, baby
What I wanna tell you
[Verse 4]
You've given me so much warmth
I don't see how I can ever grow cold
In my mind, there's a picture of you and I, baby
That no one has the price to buy
[Verse 5]
So I won't try to change your mind, baby
'Cause you're leaving a better man behind and
[Verse 6]
What you gave me, girl, is more than enough to last, baby
What I wanna say to you
What you gave me, girl, is more than enough to last
See here, darling
[Verse 7]
Into my life you came
Like a breath of spring
Giving me a song to sing
Oh, baby, and though I know you're leaving
I won't be grieving
Oh, 'cause I know
[Verse 8]
Time has a way
Has a way of showing us the things that we really need
And no matter where you roam, baby
I know you'll find your way, your way back home, darling
[Verse 9]
And though I know it's not reality
And you know it
You'll always be a part of me, baby, 'cause
[Verse 10]
What you gave me, girl, is more than enough to last
What you gave me, girl, is more than enough to last, baby
I can't take it
What you gave me, girl, is more than enough to last
What you gave me, girl, is more than enough to last
