What The World Needs Now

...is love, sweet love.

I haven't heard this song for a given number of years, but a new arrangement was played over the past few days to honor a celebrity who recently died. When I heard the choir of famous and non-famous people start to sing, I found I hadn't forgotten the words and began to join in.

Them the significance of the song hit me - I mean, REALLY hit me - and I began to cry. I couldn't continue - I was choking on the lovely lyrics.

Will I ever be able to sing it through again?
