"What The World Needs Now Is Love"

"What The World Needs Now Is Love"



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 until 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 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 there's 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
(Whoa, whoa, is love)
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
(Oh, oh, is love)
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
(Whoa, whoa, is love)

"What Will My Mary Say"

"What Will My Mary Say"



I must be going (Don't go)
My heart is showing (Don't go)
I better hurry away
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?

Your lips are thrilling
My arms are willing
I know that I shouldn't stay
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?

What would I do if she should need me
And find me kissing you?
She's always trusted me completely
Her poor heart would break in two

I must be going (Don't go)
My heart is showing (Don't go)
I better hurry away
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?

If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?

(Don't go)
(Don't go)

"What'll I Do"

"What'll I Do"



What'll I do?
When you are far away
And I am blue
What'll I do?

What'll I do?
When I am wond'ring who
Is kissing you
What'll I do?

What'll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to?

When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll I do?

What'll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to?

When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll I do?

"What's Forever For"

"What's Forever For"



I've been lookin' at people
And how they change with the times
And lately, all I've been seein' are people
Throwin' love away and losing their minds

Maybe it's me who's gone crazy
'Cause I can't understand why
All these lovers keep hurtin' each other
When love is so hard to come by

So what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for?

I've been listenin' to people
And they say love is the key
And it's not my way to let them lead me astray
It's only that I want to believe

I see love hungry people
Tryin' their best to survive
While in their hands is a dying romance
And they're not even tryin' to keep it alive

So what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for?

So what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for?

"When A Child Is Born"

"When A Child Is Born"



A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy hue settles all around
You've got the feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two, no-one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born

And all of this happens because the world is waiting,
Waiting for one child
Black, white, yellow, no-one knows
But a child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter,
Hate to love, war to peace and everyone to everyone's neighbour
And misery and suffering will be words to be forgotten, forever

It's all a dream, an illusion now
It must come true, sometime soon somehow
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

"When I Fall In Love"

"When I Fall In Love"



When I fall in love it will be forever
Or Ill never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before its begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.

"When I Need You"

"When I Need You"



When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so wanna give you
It's only a heartbeat away

When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

Miles and miles of empty space in between us
The telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know I won't be travelin' forever
It's cold out but hold out and do I like I do

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so wanna give you babe
It's only a heartbeat away

It's not easy when the road is your driver
Honey that's a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out but hold out and do like I do

Oh, I need you

When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

When I need you
Just close my eyes
And you're right here by my side
Keeping me warm night and day

I just hold out my hands
I just hold out my hand
And I'm with you darlin'
Yes, I'm with you darlin'
All I wanna give you
It's only a heartbeat away

"When My Sugar Walks Down The Street"

"When My Sugar Walks Down The Street"



I know a thing or two
And I'm telling you
I got a wonderful gal
She's got the cutest smile
A million dollar style
She's such a wonderful pal

I just feel so happy
'Cause I love her so
When she is by my side
I'm so filled with pride
I want the whole world to know

When my sugar walks down the street
All the little birdies go, tweet, tweet, tweet
In the evening when the sun goes down
It's never dark when she's around

She's so affectionate and I'll say this
When she kisses me, I stay kissed
When my sugar walks down the street
The little birdies go, tweet, tweet, sweet

I like my coffee sweet
Everything I eat
Must have some sugar on top
I'm telling you the truth
I've got the sweetest tooth
I love a sweet lollipop

Tell me what is sweeter
Than a sweet, sweet kiss
From someone who can be
Oh, so sweet to me
I want you all to know this

That when my sugar walks down the street
All the little birdies go, tweet, tweet, tweet
And in the evening when the sun goes down
It's never dark when she's around

She's so affectionate and I'll say this
When she kisses me, I stay kissed
When my sugar walks down the street
The little birdies go, tweet, tweet, tweet

Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar
When my sugar walks down the street
The little birdies go, tweet, tweet, tweet

"When Sunny Gets Blue"

"When Sunny Gets Blue"



When Sunny gets blue,
Her eyes get gray and cloudy,
Then the rain begins to fall.
Pitter patter, pitter patter,
Love is gone, so what can matter?
No sweet lover man comes to call.

When Sunny gets blue,
She breathes a sigh of sadness,
Like the wind that stirs the trees.
Wind that sets the leaves to swayin', like some violins are playin'
Weird and haunting melodies.

People used to love to hear her laugh, see her smile.
That's how she got her name.
Since that sad affair, she's lost her smile, changed her style.
Somehow she's not the same.

But memories will fade,
And pretty dreams will rise up,
Where her other dreams fell through.
Hurry new love, hurry here,
To kiss away each lonely tear,
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue.

Hurry new love, hurry here,
To kiss away each lonely tear,
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue.

"When The Lovin' Goes Out Of The Lovin'"

"When The Lovin' Goes Out Of The Lovin'"



When the lovin' goes out of the lovin'
And there isn't a thing you can do
But reminisce of yesterdays
Second guess her changin' ways
And fill your time with people just like you

When the lovin's gone out of the lovin'
And there isn't a thing you can say
You bite your tongue and wonder why
And then you watch your life flash by
Hopin' things will turn around your way

There isn't a lovin' thing I can say
There isn't a lovin' thing I can do
There isn't a lovin' way I can ever reach you
How can I walk away and feel free
When lovin' you means my whole life to me?
There isn't a lovin' way I can ever leave you and be free

When the lovin' goes out of the lovin'
And there's no easy way to pretend
That anythin' could ever be
As good a thing as you and me
It's hard to understand this is the end

There isn't a lovin' thing I can say
There isn't a lovin' thing I can do
There isn't a lovin' way I can ever reach you
How could I walk away and feel free
When lovin' you means my whole life to me?
There isn't a lovin' way I can ever leave you

There isn't a lovin' thing I can say
There isn't a lovin' thing I can do
There isn't a lovin' way I can ever reach you
How can I walk away and feel free
When lovin' you means my whole life to me?
There isn't a lovin' way I could ever leave you and feel free

When the lovin' goes out of the lovin'
