Лео Сэйер — английский автор песен и поп-исполнитель, пик популярности которого пришёлся на эпоху диско.

Я уже писал несколько дней назад о чешском исполнителе Михале Тучны, пластинку которого мне подарили в начале 80-х годов. Было бы несправедливым не вспомнить и о другом певце и авторе песен, диск которого  в те времена  я закрутил до такой степени, что мои домашние разбили его, чтобы только не слышать своеобразного вокала Пьеро английской эстрады Лео Сейера (Leo Sayer). Много лет прошло с тех пор, нашу семью разбросало по разным странам, остались только песни Лео Сейера, некоторые из них мы можем послушать сегодня.

Leo Sayer -When I need you

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
The telephone can’t take the place of your smile
But you know I won’t be travelin’ forever
It’s cold out, but hold out, and do I 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 me warm night and day
I just hold out my hands
I just hold out my hand
And I’m with you darlin’
Yes, I’m with you darlin’
All I wanna give you
It’s only a heartbeat away

Oh, I need you darling

Leo Sayer — I Cant Stop Loving You

So you’re leaving
In the morning
On the early train
I could say everything’s alright
I could pretend and say good bye

Got your ticket
Got your suitcase
Got your leaving smile
I could say that’s the way it goes
I could pretend and you won’t know
That I was lying

’cause I can’t stop loving you
I can’t stop loving you
No, I can’t stop loving you
Though I try

Took a taxi
To the station
Not a word was said
I saw you walk across the road
Maybe the last time, I don’t know

Feeling humble
I heard a rumble
On the railway track
And when I hear the whistle blow
I walk away and you don’t know
That I was lying

’cause I can’t stop loving you
No, I can’t stop loving you
I can’t stop loving you
Though I try

’cause I can’t stop loving you
I can’t stop loving you
No, I can’t stop loving you
Though I try

Leo Sayer — Long Tall Glasses (1974)

I was travellin’ down the road, feelin’ hungry and cold
I saw a sign sayin’ food and drinks for everyoneso naturally
I thought I would take me a look inside
I saw so much food, there was water comin’ from my eye
yeah there was ham an’ there was turkey, there was caviaran’ long tall glasses, with wine up to yar
an’ then somebody grabbed me, threw me outta my chairsaid before you can eat, you gotta dance like Fred Astaire
you know
I can’t dance, you know I can’t danceyou know I can’t dance, you know I can’t dance
I can’t dance
I am a man of the road — a hobo by name
I don’t seek entertainment, just poultry and gamebut if it’s all the same to you, then yes
I will try my handif you were as hungry as me then I’m sure you would understand
hmmmnow wait a minutelet me see now
of course
I can dance of course I can danceI’m sure I can dance, I’m sure I can dance..I can dance
I can dance
I really hit the floorah feels goodlook at me dancin’
I did a two-step, quick-step and a bossa novaa little Victor Silvester, and a Rudy Valentino
you should a seen me movin’, right across the floorhand me down my tuxedo, next week I’m comin’ back for more
I can dance — oh yes! I can dancelook at me dancin’ the floor movin’I feel good — I can danceI can dance, I can dance, I can dance.

Leo Sayer — Let it be 1976

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
