I'm looking for information on a song which starts off, "when the world needs love again... what am I to do?"

Question

I suspect that it was written in the late twenties to early forties, but that is just a guess based on the tune, which sounds reminiscent of "We'll meet again" by Vera Lynn. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Answer 1

It is a song by Burt Bacaharach. Here are the lyrics below....

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 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 there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.

No, not just for some, oh, but just for everyone

for the reason that they are basically jealous Emo little ones DO have themes, i've got a constructive existence, to boot for the very actuality my dad and mom are in no way sober, and so as that stinks using actuality they are on no account there for me. Emo babies do no longer pick somewhat some friends pondering the reality that of stereo varieties, and that makes existence worse. Emo babies get made exciting of using fact of their form in clothing, song, and upload-ons, or perhaps their hair. So it somewhat is depressing. they only might desire to be enjoyed, and cared approximately, and now no longer be made exciting of for being stunning. i'm now no longer emo, in spite of the shown fact that my extreme-high quality pal interior the international is.
