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, sayin',
"How do you do?"
They're really saying,
"I love you."
I hear babies cryin'.
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.
Ooh, yeah.
