[Verse 1]
There were trees of green, red roses too
I saw them bloom, for me and you
And I thought to myself, it was a wonderful world
[Verse 2]
There were skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I thought to myself, what a wonderful world
[Bridge]
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Were also on the faces of people going by
I saw friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They really said I love you
[Verse 3]
Used to hear babies crying, I watched them grow
Will they ever learn much more than I’ll ever know
And I thought to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes I thought to myself, what a wonderful world
[Bridge]
I want the rainbow back, the colors of the sky
The smile on all the faces of the people going by
I want friends shaking hands saying how do you do
ANd hear everyone sayibg I love you
[Verse 3]
Wanna hear the babies crying, wanna watch them grow
They definitely will learn much more than I’ll ever know
Wanna think to myself, what a wonderful world
I wanna shout out again: What a wonderful world
