Jackie DeShannon - What the World Needs Now is Love - Lyrics on Screen
"Every act of love is a work of peace no matter how small." ~ Mother Teresa
"It is time to fill the world with strong and powerful deeds. It is common knowledge that no great captain in the world has ever destroyed all of his enemies and lived with a sense of satisfaction. If one enemy is killed, two more will appear. It is important we cultivate love and compassion to all the sentient beings which is the way to bring peace to all."
~ Dalai Lama
"What the World Needs Now Is Love" is a 1965 popular song with lyrics by Hal David and music composed by Burt Bacharach. First recorded and made popular by Jackie DeShannon, it was released on April 15, 1965, on the Imperial label after a release on sister label Liberty records the previous month was canceled. The song reached number 7 on the US charts in May of that year.
The song was originally offered to Dionne Warwick, who turned it down at the time, though she later recorded it for her album Here Where There Is Love. DeShannon's version was recorded on March 23, 1965, at New York's Bell Sound studios.
"What The World Needs Now Is Love"
( by Jackie DeShannon)
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.
Lord, we don't need another mountain,
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb.
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross,
Enough to last 'til the end of time.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
It's the only thing that theres just too little of.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some, but for everyone.
Lord, we dont need another meadow.
There are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow.
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine.
Oh, listen Lord, if you want to know.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love.
It's the only thing that theres just too little of.
What the world needs now is love sweet love,
No, not just for some, oh, but just for every, every, everyone.
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love.
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love.
