Lyrics
Love, Love, Love

Love, Love, Love

Love, Love, Love

There is nothing you can do that can't be done

Nothing you can sing that can't be sung

Nothing you can say

But you can learn how to play the game

It's easy

Nothing you can make that can be made

No one who can save that can't be saved

Nothing you can do

But can learn to be you in time

It's easy

All You Need Is Love

All You Need Is Love

All You Need Is Love, Love

Love Is All You Need

Love, Love, Love

Love, Love, Love

Love, Love, Love

All You Need Is Love

All You Need Is Love

All You Need Is Love, Love

Love Is All You Need

There's nothing you can know that isn't known

Nothing you can see isn't shown

There's nowhere you can be

That isn't where you're meant to be

It's Easy

All You Need Is Love

All You Need Is Love

All You Need Is Love, Love

Love Is All You Need

All You Need Is Love

(All Together Now)

All You Need Is Love

(Everybody)

All You Need Is Love, Love

Love Is All You Need (Love is all you need)

Love Is All You Need (Love is all you need)

Love Is All You Need (Love is all you need)

Love Is All You Need (Love is all you need)

She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah

She loves you, yeah yeah yeah

History
All You Need Is Love was written by John Lennon especially for Our World; the world’s first televised satellite link-up between 25 countries worldwide. Its message perfectly encapsulated the optimistic mood of The Summer of Love, with a simplicity perfectly judged for their global audience. The BBC had suggested the idea of using new satellite relays to connect the national television networks of countries across the world, to make a live link-up on a scale previously unknown. The Beatles were the natural choice to represent Britain and they decided to compose a new song especially for the broadcast. Our World took place on June 25, 1967 and The Beatles began recording the backing track just 11 days before the transmission date. Coming just two weeks after the release of Sgt Pepper, The Beatles were clearly full of confidence and took a the prospect of a potential audience of 400 million people in their stride.

A remix of All You Need Is Love was the closing track on The Beatles: Love. The song’s ending featured vocals from Baby You’re A Rich Man, Rain and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, as well as the guitar riff from Ticket to Ride. The song segues into a brief orchestral snippet from Good Night, accompanied by a snippet of dialogue from The Beatles’ 1965 Christmas fan club recording.
