When I hear All You Need is Love I sigh;
this was a Beatles’ song from long ago.
It makes me think that hate may someday die.
It’s true I am a Beatles kind of guy;
old vinyl or CD or radio.
When I hear All You Need is Love I sigh.
Five simple words for all of us to try;
the melody and key seem apropos.
It makes me think that hate may someday die.
An anthem for the living to live by;
so unmistakable its loving flow.
When I hear All You Need is Love I sigh.
As Lennon penned there was a diamond sky;
a gal named Lucy reveled in the glow.*
It makes me think that hate may someday die.
The stars display their glory from on high;
a universe of love for us to know.
When I hear All You Need is Love I sigh;
it makes me think that hate may someday die.
