I see trees of green,
red roses too.
red roses too.
I see them bloom,
for me and you.
for me and you.
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world.
what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue,
And clouds of white.
And clouds of white.
The bright blessed day,
The dark sacred night.
The dark sacred night.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow,
So pretty in the sky.
So pretty in the sky.
Are also on the faces,
Of people going by,
I see friends shaking hands.
I see friends shaking hands.
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying,
They're really saying,
"I love you."
I hear babies cry,
I watch them grow,
I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more,
Than I'll ever know.
Than I'll ever know.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
What a wonderful world.
Yes, I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
Oh yeah.
