Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World

What a Wonderful World - Lyrics

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

I see skies of blue and clouds of white,
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night,
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 saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, "I love you."

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know,
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
Yes, I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
Oh yeah.
