David Ruffin

Davis Eli "David" Ruffin (January 18, 1941 – June 1, 1991) was an American soul singer and musician most famous for his work as one of the lead singers of the Temptations from 1964 to 1968 (or the group's "Classic Five" period as it was later known). He was the lead voice on such famous songs as "My Girl" and "Ain't Too Proud to Beg." Known for his unique raspy and anguished tenor vocals, Ruffin was ranked as one of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time by Rolling Stone magazine in 2008. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 for his work with the Temptations. Fellow Motown recording artist Marvin Gaye once said admiringly of Ruffin that, "I heard in [his voice] a strength my own voice lacked." more »

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

I don't know what made you change your mind 
But you'll be back It's just a matter of time

'Cause what you gave me is more than enough to last 
Ooh, baby What you gave me is more than enough to last

Yeah, into my life you came
Like a breath of spring
Giving me a song to sing
Though I know you're leaving
But I won't be grieving

'Cause time has a way of showing us
The things that we really need
And no matter where you go
I know you'll find your way back home
'Cause though I know it's not reality
You'll always be a part of me

'Cause what you gave me is more than enough to last 
What you gave me is more than enough to last 
What you gave me 
What you gave me is more than enough to last

Yes, yes it's more
It's more than enough to last
Yes, yes it's more
It's more than enough to last

What you gave me is more than enough to last 
What you gave me is more than enough to last 
What you gave me is more than enough to last 
What you gave me is more than enough to last
