What a Wonderful World
I see trees of green, red roses tooI see them bloom for me and youAnd I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of whiteThe bright blessed day, the dark sacred nightAnd I think to myself what a wonderful world.

The colours of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of the people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They’re really saying, I love you.
I hear babies cry, 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.
