What The World Needs Now Is Love - Burt Bacharach

I was watching "Austin Powers: The International Man of Mystery," and when the song "What The World Needs Now Is Love" started playing, I thought that it might be nice to try out that song. So I hope you enjoy this as much as I did when I was learning the piece.

This rendition of that wonderful song is taken, for the most part, from the arrangement from Clay Warnick.

(recorded with a casio ex-z80)

Lyrics:
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
Till the end of time

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 meadow
There are cornfields and wheatfields
Enough to grow
And there are sunbeams and moonbeams
Enough to shine
So listen, Lord
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

I was surprised there was vocals...

[saundelr]

I am a professional Musician and I realize how hard you must have worked to learn this song to both play and sing. Not easy to do that..

It is Ironic. Some of the negative comments validate the need for you to sing the song. By singing the song, you are aspiring to a frame of mind that rises above the unkindness of some people. :-)

I look forward to hearing more from you!
