I was 6 years old in Mexico and didn't speak or understood a word of English and this song would touch my heart so much and bring me to tears...I'm 42 and it's that same feeling!!

It is amazing how a song can touch your soul and stay with you forever. Suddenly found myself singing this song having not heard this song in decades. This is blue-eyed Soul from the much underrated Leo Sayer.

IT WAS ANOTHER TIME IN THE. 70'S. 😂 ❤

Sayer had it all in the 70s, the fashion :yellow jumpers, brown corduroy trousers ( when was the last time you heard the corduroy used in a sentence??? well ?? ) he had crazy affro hair that stuck up to the moon, he was often confused in my youth with that exercise guy off tv called richard simmons. Sayer is a legend in many ways. His greatest hits on vinyl sits proudly between other unknown and forgotten bands like the beatles. I sayer we bring back leo ! Thumbs up if u agree !!

went to leo sayers concer in 1988, one of the most beautiful performances ever, got a picture and a signed football with him after it, still have the football, i treasure it day in day out, i love this song, it makes me cry, and i dont cry much

This was my all time favorite when I was a teen in the 70's. Finally found the man who makes me feel everything this song is about. Had to wait until I was nearly 50 to find him but it was worth the wait!

After all these years, I still get goosebumps when I hear this song. Amazing!

It brings all those lost days that I had in Iran, and bring tears to my eyes!! Lost days, lost ,lost, lost............and still fresh and the best song I have ever heard!Tks, love youXX

A man with true love! One of the best singers of the 70's.

I dedicate this song to my past. She's gone forever but I have her here, she's right here with me every night. I love you so much Michelle Leigh Galbreath, All The Muches In The World. When I need you, I just close my eyes and I'm with you. And no one can ever take you from me again.

I love this song, especially when Leo sings, every note has meaning in every gesture and something that I appreciate tremendously in a singer ...... is that vocalize well and he does great!

We sometimes forget what real talent is with the voice enhanced crap they mostly play on the radio today, and then you remember people like Leo Sayer and it all comes flooding back.

When I lived at home I used to kick-off when my Dad used to play Leo's songs full-whack after a few beers. Since loosing him to cancer this year I would give anything to have it blasted through the walls again. I have since loved this song. Miss ya Dad X

the 70's was when it was the real music .Music that would touch your heart.

Oh yes that's true, you're absolutely right about that and it's nice meeting you here my Dear Joyce!👋

I can't believe this song is 37 years now --- still reminds me when I found out that my first girlfriend from jr. high school was moving to Florida and this song came on the radio!!! sad memories!! lol

I really love this song by Leo Sayer. It implies that is not good for a man to be alone. Really no man is an island. So if love someone don't take it granted. in my case my best time is being with my one and only love. My eternal companion!

What an AWESOME song! I'm a HUGE fan of Leo Sayer! He released some AWESOME songs! This Country Music lover SURE has an appreciation for 80's Pop/Rock music! Today's Pop/Rock MOSTLY sux! EVEN my FAVORITE genre, Country Music is going downhill. Now Country Music unfortunately sounds like Pop Music and Pop music today's ALMOST always has (C)rap in it! :(

Tears fall ..... I miss you Mom and Dad this song reminds me of good days

I've been listening to 70s Soft Rock Songs tonight and they just don't make long love songs/songs like they used to...shame ey. And these musicians actually could SING!

My Mum and Dad Died to this song brings backs loads off memories i heard this last night on the 1970's music by accident and i literally coudlnt stop crying R.I.P Mum And Dad.

minimum 30 years I have been listening to this song and yet this has been amazingly heart touching. May be my next generations will still listen to this legendary song by Leo Sayer.

How can a human being thumbs down this? Surely they are either insane or heartless. Sad with actually share this planet with 'some' humans are empty and void of feeling. Nice touching love song... one for the planet and humanity and couples!

To personally have felt this kind of love, and hear Leo saying it brings back a flash- back of love that couldn't be, but was for a short time...it's better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all...Peace, love and a smile, MARIA GONZALEZ

Leo Sayer says it all thrilling your soul with his lovely voice. I was known a singer when I started singing his LOVE YOU MORE THAN I CAN SAY. People love hearing being loved, as the whole world is thirty of love, let alone love for money too.

wow! A real love song. Id forgotten what they sounded like.

Brings me back to a better time.

I used to play this song over & over in '78, '79. Don't know why I why only 8-9 yrs old myself. Love all the 70's music! :)

I went to see Leo Sayer and Melissa Manchester at the Greek Theater in the LA area on my 14th birthday. I was soooo happy for a long time from that! That was in 1977 and I still think about that once in awhile....

This song is so deep I feel it in my bones

I'm 39 years old, but I'm still gonna say this. This song reminds me off my MOMMY!! This song came out when i was a toddler and I was stuck to her like glue. No matter what she does she will always be my mommy.......

I am seventeen and I love the music of leo sayer n_n this is TRUE music :D thanks mom, for showing me the real artists :)

Such a pretty song.

Love this song!!

Reminds me of my childhood.. absolutely gorgeous song......love it :-D

I have paused this song and read a number of comments. I won't listen to it. I remember hearing it a lot in the 70's and early 80's at a young age and it when I've heard it occasionally over the past 30 years, it brings back many memories. Most memories are unpleasant ones of my childhood. I've always found it a very melancholy song.

I listened to this song as a kid, before I new the meaning of the words. But I new it was special. Now as an adult, I can fully appreciate what at one time I was to young to understand

Memories of early 80s. Unforgettable no by Leo Sayer.

He sounds so good..,his music. Is good..

what can i say ,the song say's it all xxx

The year this was a hit was 1976 in the uk, I was a teenager and found my first love,she was older than me.This record was playing when we got together and it always brings back deep feelings .I was in the Royal Navy at that time and didn't see her again for a few years and when I did she was married.I saw her again 30 years later and that love deep down was still there and will stay with me forever.When i hear this song I am back in 1976 wow what a fantastic time we had. Ady.

this is proof that no amount of money and technology and production can compete with simple naked passion with talent.

Beautifull piece pregnant with so many subtle nuances of tenderness and love.

Are brilliant singer and song - I sang along watching this brilliant video and are it brought a tear to my eye and a lump in my throat again.

When I first heard Leo Sayer in the late 70-80's I wasnt too fond of his singing style even as a little kid.(before you crucify me let me explain) I was always particular about peoples use of "Falsetto" singing and the song "You make me feel like dancing" where L.S. screeches in that high nasal voice was really grating and harsh to me. *BUT* When Leo Sings in his natural voice register like this... It is Magic. He has a very sweet and emotion-felt and powerful voice. I always appreciated when he sings songs in that register more.

Beautiful Love Song

It's a beautiful song that brings back memories of a time when the one I loved moved to Wales while I remained behind. It was a sad time in my life because we could only talk on the phone and didn't see each other for a year but this song encapsulated my feelings perfectly.

Happiness is, when every song, is a love ballad God sings to my heart... He brought me to His banqueting table, His banner over me is love... Yes, I am my beloveds and He is mine!

ohhh my beautiful song for my love

Great Song

I'm not from this generation, born in 1984 (no disrespect intended to anyone.) I listen to a lot of music; older music and new music. What sounds good and is beautiful, I listen to.... This guy has an amazing, God given voice! The only guy that comes to mind now-a-days comparable to his voice is NATE RUESS from the group (fun.) He is awesome... I love a great voice!

I first heard this song in Singapore in 1977 serving with New Zealand Army, played it a lot with my room mates Sam Hunter, Sam Kahaki, and Willie Manu. Great memories. I would like to dedicate this to our fallen brothers and sisters....ONWARD..

I was 21 years old when this song came out in early 1977 and I was living in England at the time. Such beautiful memories.

Thanks!..I still cry every night..,...I just keep my memories alive...wish I will have him again doesn't matter time

Perfect. The song and the man doing the singing.

still a great song all these years later. my bf is a trucker and miles and miles between us just hits home...miss him so much

This is such a perfect love song... it brings back memories from my first true love in late 70s...
