More Than I Can Say by Leo Sayer.

From Wiki:

"More Than I Can Say" is a song written by Sonny Curtis and Jerry Allison, both former members of Buddy Holly's band The Crickets and was recorded by their band in 1959 soon after Holly's death and was released in 1960. Their original version hit #42 on British Record Retailer Chart on 5/12/60. It has been notably performed by singers Bobby Vee and Leo Sayer.

Vee is an American pop music singer whose prominence in the music industry arose from tragedy. After Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper were killed in a plane crash in February 1959, a then-teenaged Vee was one of a group of local musicians recruited to play at the next leg of a scheduled concert in Fargo, North Dakota. In 1961, Vee (whose other hit singles include "Take Good Care of My Baby" and "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes") recorded "More Than I Can Say", and it reached #61 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was a bigger hit in the United Kingdom, where the song and its B-side, "Staying In", peaked at #4 on the UK Singles Chart.

Sayer is a British-Australian singer-songwriter who enjoyed the majority of his chart success in the 1970s and early 1980s. He had two singles reach #1 in the U.S., "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" and "When I Need You", both in 1977. He nearly had a third song achieve this feat, as his cover version of "More Than I Can Say" spent five weeks at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in December 1980 and January 1981. Sayer's version of the song was certified a Gold Record by the RIAA. It also spent three weeks at #1 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart. In the U.K., the song peaked at #2 on the UK Singles Chart, while it spent two weeks atop the Kent Music Report in Australia. Sayer has stated that while looking for an "oldie" to record for his album Living in a Fantasy, he saw a TV commercial for a greatest hits collection by Vee and chose the song on the spot: "We went into a record store that afternoon, bought the record and had the song recorded that night."
