More Than I Can Say
The story behind the song
This song expresses a profound longing and devotion, where the feeling is so immense that words simply fall short. It's about missing someone every single day, to the point of tears, because the love runs deeper than anything that can be articulated. Originally penned by Sonny Curtis and Jerry Allison of Buddy Holly's band The Crickets, it was released in 1960 with its memorable "wo-wo yay-yay" hook. Leo Sayer, an English singer known for his impactful vocals, notably brought this sentiment to a new generation. It plays like a heartfelt declaration to a beloved, a song of pure, overwhelming affection.
