Thanks very much, everyone, for the kind words and helpful comment.
Grassie, I take your point about the authors. I'd argue, though, that it's
a Beatles song, not just Lennon/McCartney, and I imagine we'll always
associate it with George because of his personal philosophy and last words.
I noticed it was the one the wireless stations were mostly playing the day
his death was announced.
Here's the latest version, by the way.
Best regards,
David
You showed us all, we all need love,
and love is all. We need
that compass, or we fear to love.
You showed us all, we all need love,
and how a simple song of love
protects from fear and need--
you showed us all. We all need love,
and love is all we need.
