    In 1981 my sister and her boyfriend were taken from us by a drunk driver; I was 10 years old at the time. This song was played at their memorial. First time I ever saw my father cry...he cried uncontrollably and collapsed....one of the most profound and terrifying times in my life. That one person's terrible decision to drink and drive forever changed our families. I'm 52 now and when I hear this song, I can remember every moment from the late night telephone call to the wake.

    Wonderful performance Leo. I am an American, 50 years ago, I met a beautiful English girl, my college sweetheart in England while studying to be a doctor. I invited her to a concert by Leo Sayer and this was one of the songs that we loved; we played the cassette, the record, the CD and … for the 50 years we’ve been married, after working and travelling in 6 countries and 3 continents, now living in America with children and grandchildren this song graced our lives. This song reminds me of that wonderful day in Northern England when I met my wife of half a century. I hope everyone enjoys this beautiful song and succeeds in love and life.

      "To All The Girls I’ve Loved Before" : for me it is his iconic song. But some people think his best performance is his cover of this Leo Sayer's song in 1990s.
      As for "The Air That I Breathe", I thought he ever sang duet with Albert West, but I couldn't find the duo version, only his single. With Albert West, I only find "Give A Little Love" which I also know, because it was also in my cassette I had in mid 1980s.

    I hear the first notes, and I immediately start to fight off the tears, but then his beautiful voice comes in ...and then the first tear falls..and then they flow. I have to have a tissue on standby every time i hear this song.. his voice and lyrics created what's arguably the most beautiful love song ever performed. Thank you, Leo❤

    When I was a little girl my mama used to sing this to me... She's been gone 20 years now & when I need her, I just close my eyes & I'm with her... I know it's not a mother daughter kinda song but I'm So glad she left that memory of her singing this song to me. (She was paralyzed in a car wreck when I was 4. She was in rehabilitation centers in different states & I couldn't be with her) It's very comforting when I need it most in this crazy (& sometimes) lonely life.
    Thank you Mama 💜🙏

    Leo Sayer
    When I need you
    I just close my eyes and I'm with you
    And all that I so wanna give you
    It's only a heartbeat away
    When I need love
    I hold out my hands and I touch love
    I never knew there was so much love
    Keeping me warm night and day
    Miles and miles of empty space in between us
    A telephone can't take the place of your smile
    But you know I won't be traveling forever
    It's cold out, but hold out
    And do like I do
    When I need you
    I just close my eyes and I'm with you
    And all that I so wanna give you, babe
    It's only a heartbeat away
    It's not easy when the road is your driver
    Honey, that's a heavy load that we bear
    But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
    It's cold out, but hold out
    And do like I do
    Oh, I need you
    When I need love
    I hold out my hands and I touch love
    I never knew there was so much love
    Keeping me warm night and day
    When I need you
    I just close my eyes
    And you're right here by my side
    Keeping my warm night and day
    I just hold out my hands
    I just hold out my hands
    And I'm with you, darling
    Yes, I'm with you, darling
    All I wanna give you
    It's only a heartbeat away
    Oh, I need you, darling
    Oh, I want you
    Compositor: Sager Carole, Hammond Albert Louis
