What the World Needs Now is Love Sweet Love

From the Heart

Louise Gibson

Have you ever asked yourself
"Who do I love, and why?"
Wouldn't you amaze yourself
if you sincerely tried to reply?

"Do I truly love my neighbor
as well as I love myself?
Should I continue my endeavor
to "touch someone"-
or "put it on the shelf"?

"Just continue, dear Lord to prod me
if I hesitate too long..
Put my priorities in order, please,
Remind me of this song."


Composer:  Burt Bacharach

" What the world needs now is love, sweet love.
it's the only thing there's too little of.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some,
But for everyone.

Lord, we don't need another meadow;
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow,
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh, listen, if you want to know.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love.
It's the only thing that there's just too little of.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love-
No, not just for some, but for everyone.
