“Wonderful World”

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
Clouds of white
Bright blessed days
Dark sacred nights
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of a rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shakin’ hands
Sayin’, “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 ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of a rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are there on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shakin’ hands
Saying, “How do you do?”
They’re really saying
“I love you”

I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
You know they’re gonna learn a whole lot more
Than I will ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
