He wrote what we wanted to hear
his words were who we were
The singers who knew
They sang the words without fear
The list is fabulous
the list is long
Dionne Warwick
Dusty Springfield
Aretha Franklin
BJ Thomas
Tom Jones
Burt Bacharach
Hal David
the list is long
the list is fabulous
Anyone who had a heart
couldn’t walk on by
even if they don’t know what to do with themselves
perhaps wishing and hoping
or say a little prayer with a look of love
or a jovial what’s new pussycat?
RIP Burt Bacharach

He was an amazing composer/song writer. I’ve been humming his songs the last few mornings on my walks.

I keep watching short clips of Burt’s songs- sung by the wonderful Dionne Warwick- the soundtrack of my childhood and somehow I still know all the words

If I could remember everything else as well as I remember song lyrics I’d be happy 😂
