Sympathy

Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby

Now when you climb into your bed tonight

And when you lock and bolt the door

Just think about out in the cold and dark

'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round



And sympathy is what we need my friends

And sympathy is what we need

And sympathy is what we need my friends

'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round

No there's not enough love to go 'round



Now half the world hates the other half

And half the world has all the food

And half the world lies down and quietly starves

'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round



And sympathy is what we need my friends

And sympathy is what we need

And sympathy is what we need my friends

'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round

No there's not enough love to go 'round



And sympathy is what we need my friends

And sympathy is what we need

And sympathy is what we need my friends

'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round

No there's not enough love to go 'round

Sympathy - Bing Crosby

Bing Crosby's 'Sympathy' stands as a quintessential example of his mastery of the crooner style, blending intimate vocal delivery with the polished arrangements typical of his era. Recorded during the golden age of radio and early television, the track exemplifies Crosby's ability to convey deep emotion through subtle phrasing and a warm, husky tone that defined his career. As a staple of his discography, the song reflects the sophisticated pop and vocal jazz influences that characterized his work alongside peers like Frank Sinatra. The recording captures the essence of mid-20th-century American music, where the focus remained on the singer's personal connection with the listener, delivered through clear, high-fidelity sound engineering that became Crosby's signature. Its enduring popularity underscores its status as a timeless piece within the broader canon of his musical contributions.
