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.

— Jackie DeShannon Misattributed What the World Needs Now is Love (1965)

Every time that you walk in the room.

There can be a brighter day
There can be a new tomorrow
