All you need is love

there’s nothing you can sing that can’t be sung… the band is taking a break… the best man and the maid of honor are running to the stage to sing their gift to the newlyweds… a perfect song for the occasion…he picks up the guitar and strums a few chords to find his tone… she adjusts the mike stand… leaning on either side of the microphone they sing the gospel from john and paul … nothing you can do that can’t be done… they are not the best performers nor are the guests the best listeners… but the song is not for the guests… the newlyweds are leaving their table to join their friends on the stage to complete the quartet… they sing… to each other… to themselves… to the world… nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time… a defining moment for the singers… for the newlyweds… for the song… nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game… play the role… play guitar and sing… nothing you can make that can’t be made… then why isn’t everyone singing… no one you can save that can’t be saved… with a song like this anything is possible… it permeates the room hovering over the noisy crowd to whom it’s nothing more than a background noise… an inescapable noise… they try to ignore it but it doesn’t go away… all you need is love… of course… that’s why we are all here... all you need is love… gathered to celebrate a lifelong commitment… all you need is love… toasts… gifts… smiles… nothing you can see that isn’t shown… but what else is there to see… nothing you can know that isn’t known… well that’s just too heavy for this tipsy crowd… all you need is love…the guests are finally noticing the song and starting to join the refrain… all you need is love… a few camera flashes here and there… all you need is love… may all your wishes come true… all you need is love… may you have everything you may want… all you need is love…
