Leo Sayer - When I need you

 

 

영국 출신의 싱어 송 라이터 '리오 세이어'의 네번째 앨범 에 수록된 곡으로 1977년

빌보드 싱글 차트 정상을 기록했던 노래. 리오 세이어는 인간 내면의 깊은 곳으로부터

끌어내는 보컬로 젊은이들의 감 성을 잘 표현한 70년대 중.후반을 대표했던 가수로 유명하지요,

리오는 이 노래로 그래미 어워드의 'R&B 작곡' 부문상을 받기도 했는데, 국 내에서는 이 노래와

함께 80년 발표곡 More Than I Can Say가 현재까지 꾸 준히 애청되고 있음.

 

No one knows the side of you that I know
No one gets to see, to feel you
To hear you when they call
I'm the only one you answer
Because I know what to do
I know what to do

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
Is only a heartbeat away
When I need love
I hold out my hand 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 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 want to give you
Is only a heartbeat away

It's not easy when the road is your driver
But honey that's the heavy load that we bear
But I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out, but hold out
And do like I do
When I need you

But I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out, oh honey, hold out
And do like I do

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you baby
And all that I so want to give you
Is only a heartbeat away

When I need love
I hold out my hand and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
