"What A Wonderful World"

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 cry, 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.
