  • Brilliant song, brilliant artist listening to the song again bringing a tear to my eyes and recalling all the times I've seen Leo perform this song in concert, and in B'ham 2010 think he was stunned when we were singing it, he got us waving arms in air and a couple of years ago he left us doing it on our own for a while and he went into a corner are Leo please come back to UK this year....

  • I just close my eyes if I was hearing this song.

  • The song is beautiful, but it's not much of a performance, you know -- the setting, costume...

  • I travel alot for work and my husband sent me this video. It makes be cry everytime. I may only by 25 but Leo Sayre is a very good artist.

  • takes me back to when i was six..always remembered this song on the radio

  • One of the best songs ever written! <3

  • Reminds me of a childhood friend that I miss so much. I wish I could have him back. Miss you Boo, you dummy...

  • UNA HERMOSA CANCION

  • Still reminds me of my first love 1977 8th grade --- I was heartbroken when I found out she and her family were moving to Florida from this day I never knew what happened to her!!

  • @ojmccaf63

    Search her in FB !

    All the best! \m/

  • This song takes me back so many years... I was born and I grow up in a communist country. Only the music was the connection with the world. Took so long to gain the freedom to chose a different live. This beautiful song was warming my dreams in 80`. I loved this song and I am so happy cause my children love this song too. It will never die.

  • A perfect song for a wedding couple to dance to at there wedding.

  • My family was moving from Overland Park, KS to Miami and this song helped make the long drive and 'pit stops' with jukeboxes so memorable. I want to be 9 again. I miss those times!

  • The 70's were a time when love songs meant something. This is one of the best. Want to hear another? Try Heatwaves Always And Forever. BEAUTIFUL.

  • This song was the first song that made me cry,I was 7 years old.

  • dislike because the end of the song is cut off.

  • i had no idea richard simmons was a singer, early on.

  • this sepical song about a truck driver away from home longing for the one he loves. it touched my heart deeply. and when i miss the one i love.... i just close my eyes and hold out my hands and comfort comes. THANK YOU LEO SAYER FOR TAKING THE TIME TO PRODUcE THIS SEPECIAL SONG. YOU BRING ME JOY....

  • My moms favorite song...RIP mom </3 I miss you everyday

  • Comment removed

  • Fairly decent ballad. It's not too sappy, but just enough to suck in the teeny-boppers of society. Made it to #1 in 1977, you know.

  • to the most beautiful lady God has ever put in my life ,Nicole Wiley,you gave me the best times of my life,i still go outside and look up at youre fav star ,pleates.im sorry for hurting you and it still hurts me as much today as it did 15 years ago.i hope you and youre wonderful family are all doing great ,i love you all so very much,im so thankful for the best years spent with you..i will never forget you,i love you so much ,timmy b

  • Check out the similarity to leonard cohen's famous blue raincoat

  • This song takes me back.. I use to roller skate with my girlfriend to this. Thanks for posting! I think 530,000+ views overrule 11 crybabies.

  • What the fuck is he doing wearing an ancient Buffalo Sabres jersey???? HE'S not Canadian....(or...a Yank)......

  • when I told my now husband that i did not want him and to go. He brought this on 45. and posted it through my letter box. Now all these years later We love deeply and this song means the world. Now my world is altering as he is terminal however I will always know that he loved me

  • @bognorgirl That is heart breaking.... Love is great but so painful either way you cut it.

  • only 500.000 views but covered by celine dion 36,million views this is the best version by far leo rocks

  • Lovely - always was, always will be. 

  • When I need you

    I just close my eyes and I'm with you

    And all that I so want to give you

    Its only a heart beat away

  • Ya, Leo. Sabres fan.

  • Please. Share my wife.

  • Great Albert Hammond 

  • This song is so TOTALLY all about masturbation! It's a guy, separated from his gal, and he is coaching her to "do like I do," while the miles divide them. C'mon! "I reach out my hand and I touch love." Really?

  • @rickerwill2 ... hey guy, you need to get a life...but, I see you like guns, maybe it's just you and your gun that you're talking about

  • Leo Sayer a Buffalo Sabres fan? Awesome!!!!

  • I forgot my memories for this song. I was so young. Great voice.

  • A GOOFY looking Leo Sayer...BUT I USED to play this song over & over::D

  • @ripplesville ~ I was just passing thru this YouTube "neck of the woods" when I discovered your post. I am a child of the 60's in every shape & form (b: 1947) BUT posts like yours make me realize that individuals from other generations, other times & places, are equally as deserving in respect. This is not my music but I have shared the same kind of intense feelings about a time, a place and a person, in my life. I'm glad this song takes you back to where things were better. My best.........

  • my neighbors were playing this song the other day. i said damn i know that song!i just had to hear it again. what a great classic!

  • My husband was a long distance lorry driver when this came out and it became our song - 'miles & miles of empty space in between us' yep the M1 in UK is miles, 'it's not easy when the road is your driver' meant so much to us. 'You know I wont be travelling forever' - ha! 34 years later, and he's STILL lorry driving!! AND I still love him, and it's still our song!

  • @57janp

    Thats beautiful.

  • Ah, they cut him off, was the hair, I can see that.

  • i'm 36 and that little fucker still scares me;(

  • what I could give to hold her in my hands just now :( sigh

  • beutifull song but dose anyone think that the promo vid for this was the template for every boyband to come lol

  • I'd love Leo a bit more if he'd wear a BOSTON BRUINS jersey instead of Buffalo Sabres. Ha ha ha! I'm kidding {kind of}

    BEAUTIFUL ... classic!

  • @KarmicOmen LOL! I'm not a hockey fan (I'm originally from Fla), but I live in Buffalo now! Since I don't follow it, I was wondering if that was a Sabres jersey! I even checked to see if he was originally from Buffalo, but he's British. -- Well, I'm dedicating this song to my sis who is in Fla, while I'm still in B-lo, so I guess it's fitting! Too funny!!

  • This song makes my heart break. What I wouldn't give to go back to the 70's and relive the best time of my life. God Bless the people of the 70's. We really rocked back then.

  • @Dancer3Thunder "DITTO" God Bless You Too,Baby! I was a 1959er.

  • @salsera59

    Can't beat us 50's babies. Nobody rocks the way we do.

  • @Dancer3Thunder We are still rockin today. At 48 I am just getting started.

  • @TheJer1963

    Honey, I'm 55 and have never stopped rockin and never will. My motto has always been, "I may have to grow old, but I'll never grow up".

  • @Dancer3Thunder I'm 47, a grandma twice over, and I'm still rockin' and rollin', especially to the tunes of drummer Jeff Porcaro, who plays on the original of this song.

  • @Dancer3Thunder Makes my heart break too .... Begnning 70'S I was a teenager ( born in '57) lost my dad in 73 fell in love in love the same year, road racing from 74 till 81 Best years of my life. And these never ending slows !!!!

  • LOVE the Buffalo Sabres jersey!!

  • This got to number 1 in the UK for 3 weeks in February and March 1977, not number 2. Leo's only chart topper until the reworking of Thunder in my heart by Meck 29 years later. But the first of 4 UK number ones as a writer for Albert Hammond who wrote it with Carole Bayer Sager about his experience being away from his wife at the time.

  • i'm a black guy from Jersey. i was a young kid when i came across leo sawyer (when i need you). i was trying to be a "hard" rebellious teen but it was something about this song. bak then i felt that leo sawyer was kind of cheesey i still brought the album (yea back then it was plastic 12 inches) and secretly played leo sawyer. he was ahead of his time (wearing a jersey long before gangsta rappers did). his voice was so good he didn't have to give you a performance. he just gave you a great song.

  • bet ur the same as me junetorr young at heart and no amount of age can take that away.

  • i remember my tym,when i was young once :) luvly song...

  • When i lost my boyfriend in N Ireland this song was never off my turntable! It was something that gave a lot of comfort to me, and when i lost my father in1988 it came out again. Sadly both of my loses WILL be travelling forever, but i have this song, and when i close my eyes! It was great to hear it again, even tho' it makes me sad.

  • I've always loved this song! It's really romantic and beautiful!

  • The hockey jersey is a nice touch lol...song brings back memories of youth

Sweetheart, you may be gone, but you will never be forgotten. I may be a married woman, but my husband understands that I still & will always love you. He understands & is ok with it. One of these days we will see each other again. Lots of Love, Patches.

  • @ddzialak it would be better if it was bruins. go bruins

  • Buffalo Sabres sweater on? sweet...bet noone knew (or cared) that #14 was worn by Rene Robert in the '70s.

  • classic evil.the best song ever..

  • @evan6905 im a big fan of his he s still going in australia i belive has a web site been a fan since early 70 s he and a friend wright most of the songs also

  • classic evil

  • there isn't any artists still till this day making anything even close to this music. all we have is worthless rap and pieces of shit who steal other artists music and run with it. there is nothing in todays culture that can come close to this.

  • Back in America then (1977) there was a whole lot of racially divided venues still and stereotypes (e.g.) radio, t.v., news, even white singers that sounded black! (Surprised... well that was America, back then) But, baby! when Leo laid this song down, White & Black radio stations played the "hell" out of this song... A TRUE BABY MAKING TUNE, which is the mark of a great song throughout mans musical history. So, if you're young or old enough... you might be a "sayers sample" ask your mom or dad

  • I love this song... this is the kind of song that really touches the soul and expresses emotions.

  • look at that microphone. now thats old school

  • Leo did 1 better in the US. He hit #1 here. Billboard's 463rd #1 hit of the rock era. God bless! Hugs to you, for postin' it. BTW, I'm NOT gay!

  • All time favorite ..................

  • I find it interesting that he's wearing a Sabers jersey.

  • how much i love this kind of music

    this is a real music

    i am a youngboy and i enjoy to hear the old music

  • another career killed by MTV, not exactly rockstar looks!

  • Must be from Buffalo.They came up with hot wings and this song was pretty cool when I was a kid and still cool today.

  • @openedup09 he is from Australia

  • @razzy1970 sorry, UK

  • Definitely a chick song... Go Sabres!

  • Love the song but his expression at :40 is priceless :)

  • yeah I know what you mean, it expresses the most important part about love a woman could do to a man.

  • my parents wedding song.

  • Anybody else suspect this is really a song about masturbation?

  • @PreCodeMovies  ahhahahhaahahaha is that what your doing right now?!

  • Why is Buffalo Saber legend Rene Robert singing this song?

  • Another golden hit from the 70´s...thank you so much for taking me down memory lane.-Mary

  • this is verry crazy when i use to listen to dis song i thought it was a women singing it. it till now, 12/11/2010 that was in 1992, I use to listen to song a lot and yeah I like the 90s but there was better music back them I agree
