More Than I Can Say Lyrics

Oh-woah-yay-yay
I love you more than I can say
I'll love you twice as much tomorrow, woah
Love you more than I can say

Oh-woah-yay-yay
I'll miss you every single day
Why must my life be filled with sorrow, oh
Love you more than I can say

Oh, don't you know I need you so
Oh, tell me please, I got to know
Do you mean to make me cry?
Am I just another guy?

Oh-woah-yay-yay
I miss you more than I can say
Why must my life be filled with sorrow, oh woah
Love you more than I can say

Oh, don't you know I need you so
So tell me please, I got to know
Do you mean to make me cry?
Am I just another guy?

Oh-woah-yay-yay
I love you more than I can say
I'll love you twice as much tomorrow, woah
Love you more than I can say
I love you more than I can say
I love you more than I can say, oh
(Mmm, more than I can say)
I'll love you twice as much tomorrow
(Mmm, more than I can say)
I'll love you twice as much tomorrow
(Mmm, more than I can say)
I love you more than I can say
(Mmm, more than I can say)
I love you more than words can say
(Mmm, more than I can say)
I love you more than I can say

Genius Annotation

“More Than I Can Say” was originally sung by The Crickets in 1960. In 1980, Leo Sayer covered the song for his eighth album Living in a Fantasy.

It peaked at #2 on the Hot 100 in late 1980, kept from the top spot by Kenny Rogers' “Lady”, then John Lennon’s “(Just Like) Starting Over”. It also reached the top 10 in Ireland, Switzerland, the UK, Canada, Belgium, New Zealand, Austria, Germany and The Netherlands. An international smash hit for sure, but not enough to reach #1 anywhere in the world! Well, technically it topped Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart for two weeks in January of 1981. I suppose that’s a fine consolation prize, right…?
