What The World Needs Now Is Love Lyrics

What The World Needs Now Is Love 

 From the Movie "Forrest Gump" 

 Performed by Jackie DeSannon 

 

 *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 enought to cross 

 Enough to last till the end of time 

 

 (Repeat *) 

 

 Lord, we don't need another meadow 

 There are cornfields and wheatfields enough to grow 

 There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine 

 Oh listen lord, if you wanna know 

 

 (Repeat *)
