You Don't Have to Say You Love Me

"You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" is the English-language version of the 1965 Italian song "Io che non vivo (senza te)", written by Pino Donaggio and Vito Pallavicini. The English lyrics were written for Dusty Springfield by Vicki Wickham and Simon Napier-Bell.

The Italian song was introduced at the 15th edition of the Sanremo Festival by Donaggio and his team partner Jody Miller. It reached the final at Sanremo and, as recorded by Donaggio, reached No. 1 in Italy in March 1965, remaining there for three weeks. "Io che non vivo (senza te)" was prominently featured on the soundtrack of the Luchino Visconti film Sandra, starring Claudia Cardinale, which was awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival that September.
