What a Wonderful World

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD by LOUIS ARMSTRONG

I see trees of green, red roses, too
I see them bloom for me and for you,
and I think to myself. . .what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white,
bright blessed days, dark sacred nights,
and I think to myself . . . what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow , so pretty in the sky
are also on the faces of people going by.
I see friends shaking hands sayin’, “How do you do?”
They’re really sayin’, “I love you.”

I hear babies cryin’; I watch them grow.
They’ll learn much more than I’ll never know.
and I think to myself . . . what a wonderful world.
Yes I think to myself . . . what a wonderful world.

Oh yeah.
